Hummus with Fresh Cilantro & Pita recipe

So funny but I just made hummus --after seeing a recipe with cilantro added. I was too lazy to climb 3 flights of stairs to get the recipe out of the library book I borrowed yesterday, so today I improvised with just adding all of the fresh cilantro to the Cuisinart and the fresh chick peas (and some of the cooking water), fresh garlic, 1-2 cups of tahini + freshly squeezed lemon juice from 3 lemons and red chili flakes, ground cumin, and kosher salt. It's so good. Kosher salt, (oil as in tahini) garlic, & lemon, make a fabulous quartet and you know when you strike the perfect balance! Sometimes refrigeration is necessary before you know for sure. When you master this you can make all salad dressings. Same principal. Pita bread is so fun because it puffs and makes the pocket!!
