Hummus
submitted by August 1997 Mom's List

4 cups garbanzo beans -- almost 3 cans
1/2 cup tahini -- sesame seed paste
1/3 cup warm water
1/3 cup olive oil
3 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon salt -- or to taste
lemon juice -- 2-3 lemons worth
cayenne pepper
paprika

In a blender or food processor squish the garlic with a bit of the water.Once it's squished add the garbanzo beans, the tahini, lemon juice, oil,rest of water and some salt. Blend until smooth. Check salt. Transfer toserving bowl and sprinkle cayenne and paprika on top. Serve with pitabread. It's a good vegan protein dish.

NOTES: Garbanzo beans (aka chickpeas) have a skin that can easily bepopped off. When I make hummus I always skin them. It takes a bit moretime, but can be done mindlessly while watching the news and it makes amuch better hummus imho.
