HUMMUS, HAMOS, HOUMOUS, HOMMOS, HOMMUS, HUMMOS, HUMMOUS, HUMUS!
WHEW! Hey, gotta cover all bases! There are so many versions of this recipe here and elsewhere, but none just like this one, which I found in "The Best International Recipe" cookbook by Cook's Illustrated. Outstanding balance of flavors. C.I. points out the benefit of rubbing the skins off of the chickpeas/garbanzo beans with a kitchen towel: a far smoother hummus! I'm seriously stunned by how much better this makes it. Also, substituting half of the olive oil in the average recipe with water allows the flavors of all other ingredients to shine and not be overpowered by the olive oil. I used sumac, paprika, cilantro, olive oil and cumin as garnishes in the photographed batch, but you can use more chili powder, parsley, pine nuts or black olives. Serve with pita chips.

Steps:
- After draining the chickpeas well, put them all in a clean, large, cotton (non-terry) kitchen towel. Very gently rub the chickpeas to loosen their skins. Open the towel and discard all skins.
- Process all ingredients except for the garnishes in a food processor or blender until smooth, about 40 seconds. You may need to stop and occasionally scrape down the sides of the vessel.
- Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl, cover and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- To serve, remove from fridge, garnish with your selections, and serve with toasted pita chips.

HUMMUS (OR HUMUS) - AUTHENTIC
This is the BEST hummus / humus recipe I've ever made. It tastes just like the hummus that is served at Middle Eastern restaurants and has had all my friends raving. I've tried lots of hummus recipes in my quest for the best and I believe this is the one. It was given to my by a work colleague who said she's always inundated for the recipe after people have tried it. One important note - don't substitute canned for dried chickpeas- it won't work! I did this the first time I made it and it was too salty. It's a little bit of extra effort/preparation - but using dried chickpeas guarantees the right combination of flavours. The amounts below make large serving of the dip - you can easily halve or quarter the amounts and still get a delicious result.

Tips:
- Use dried chickpeas: Dried chickpeas are more flavorful and economical than canned chickpeas. If you use dried chickpeas, be sure to soak them overnight before cooking.
- Cook the chickpeas until they are very soft: The chickpeas should be so soft that they can be easily mashed with a fork. This will ensure that your hummus is smooth and creamy.
- Use a food processor or blender: A food processor or blender is the best way to get a smooth and creamy hummus. If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can mash the chickpeas by hand, but it will take longer and the hummus may not be as smooth.
- Add tahini: Tahini is a sesame seed paste that gives hummus its distinctive flavor. Be sure to use good quality tahini that is made from 100% sesame seeds.
- Add lemon juice: Lemon juice brightens the flavor of hummus and helps to balance out the richness of the tahini. Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor.
- Add garlic: Garlic adds a savory flavor to hummus. You can use fresh garlic or garlic powder.
- Add salt and pepper: Salt and pepper are essential for seasoning hummus. Be sure to taste the hummus and adjust the seasonings to your liking.
- Serve hummus with pita bread, vegetables, or crackers: Hummus is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of accompaniments. Pita bread, vegetables, and crackers are all popular choices.
Conclusion:
Hummus is a delicious and healthy dip or spread that can be enjoyed as part of a meal or snack. It is a good source of protein, fiber, and healthy fats. Hummus is also a versatile dish that can be flavored in many different ways. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious hummus that will impress your friends and family.
