Hummus!

This is the 3rd batch of hummus I've made in 2 weeks. The secret to my hummus is FRESH everything. Soak the chick peas/garbanzos overnight and pressure cook them the next day with a bloop of olive oil to prevent clogging the vent pipe (if you use the stove-top pressure cooker). Then make a dressing of sesame tahini and freshly squeezed lemon juice. It will thicken like mayo. Then add fresh garlic cloves, kosher salt, cumin and the cooked (drained) chick peas and cayenne (a pinch). I process them in a Cuisinart. You can add the chick pea liquid if necessary.

In my 20's used to have a hummus contest with my next door apartment neighbor Jimmy. We were both obsessed with making it daily.
