HUMMUS – THE REAL THING

It’s all about the Tahini sauce so don’t compromise on that – buy SOOM from Amazon

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Tahini
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3 cups cooked garbanzo beans

Instructions

  1. Pour the tahini and the lemon juice into your food processor, add salt and pulse to combine.
  2. Add 3 tbsp ice water and mix.
  3. Continue adding water until desired texture is reached (pourable but not watery). I love the tehini just like this, but if you want hummus…
  4. Place garbanzos and 1.5 cups tahini sauce in food processor.
  5. Process at least 4 minutes to assure smooth consistency.
  6. Adjust seasoning. I like more tahini than this but not everyone does.

I recommend to buy dry garbanzo beans and soak them overnight at room temperature with 1 tsp baking soda. Then cook until very soft. Alternatively use canned garbanzos.
