Home Made Hummus

3 to 4 freshly squeezed lemons to make 3/4 to a cup of lemon juice

a cup of sesame tahini

3 to 4 large fresh cloves of garlic with core removed

a pound (2 dry cups) of soaked and pressure cooked Garbanzo beans also called chick peas with liquid strained out and saved

sprinkles of ground cumin

salt to taste 

I puree the cooked beans with the fresh garlic in my food processor while gradually adding some of the leftover chick pea cooking liquid. Then I mix the freshly squeezed lemon juice with the tahini and slowly pour it into the food processor combining it with the garlic, and Garbanzo bean/chick peas. I add more cooking liquid if needed. Add salt to taste and a dash of cumin.

The lemon salt and garlic make a triad a perfect balance of flavors. You will know it when you hit it! 

Freshly cooked beans and freshly made lemon juice and fresh garlic make the most spectacular hummus. I prefer to make a full batch and freeze it in three small containers. It works beautifully.

serve with parboiled carrots or steamed broccoli drizzled with olive oil and adobo.

Add chipotle sauce for some spice!
