This recipe is from my dear friend, Elias, and his family. They are from the Middle East and this recipe is a staple for them. It has just the right balance of flavours.

Time 10m

Yield 2 1/4 cups, 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 -2 garlic clove (use smoked garlic if you can get it)
3 tablespoons tahini
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 (16 ounce) cans garbanzo beans, which equals about two cups drained (chick peas)
1 lemon, juice of, only
1/3 cup water
1 -2 tablespoon olive oil
paprika (optional)
parsley, chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Drain and rinse garbanzos. Do NOT use can juices for the liquid in this recipe. They 'muddy' the flavour of the end result.
  • Put garlic, tahini and salt in a blender or food processor and buzz until ingredients are well mixed (10-15 seconds).
  • Add garbanzo beans (one can at a time) and blend after each addition. You can reserve a few whole beans for garnish.
  • Add lemon juice and blend.
  • Add as much water as you need for the consistency you like. I usually use it all, unless the lemon is ultra juicy.
  • Spread hummus on a flat plate. Create a bowl shape by elevating the edges with hummus.
  • Drizzle olive oil over the hummus, sprinkle with paprika and garnish with reserved whole beans and chopped parsley.
  • Serve with flat Arabic bread. It's nice to toast the bread lightly in the oven.

This hummus recipe was handed down to me by my Syrian grandmother. I took it and tweaked it just a touch, adding roasted garlic, making it my most-requested recipe. I finally made it for my grandma a few months ago and she said it was incredible. That was my Oscar moment :) Even people who don't like hummus love this recipe. And I'm modest too!
