SUPER SIMPLE HUMMUS
Until about 2 years ago, I would never try anything new. I was a ham-and-cheese kind of girl. Then one day at Epcot, my sister persuaded me to try the food in the Morocco pavilion. I was feeling adventerous so I got the sampler platter consisting of a gyro-like sandwich, some falafel, hummus, tabouleh, and citrus lentil salad. Well, I had certainly been missing out! Everything was delicious, uh, except the lentils. Now, I am addicted. I snack on veggies dipped in hummus, warm pita dipped in hummus, and I even use hummus in place of mayo on wraps and sandwiches. This hummus recipe is very basic but you can easily tweak it to suit your taste.

Steps:
- Reserving 1/4 cup liquid from can, drain chickpeas in a colander. Rinse well under cold water then shake off excess water.
- Process chickpeas and reserved liquid, lemon juice, tahini, garlic, cayenne, and 1 1/4 tsp salt in food processor.
- Transfer mixture to a serving dish. If desired, drizzle with oil and sprinkle with paprika.
- For variety, I sometimes add finely chopped cucumber (seeds removed and patted dry) and dill. Or I like to add finely chopped olives (black, green, kalamata).
Tips:
- Use dried chickpeas for the most authentic flavor and texture. Soaking them overnight before cooking will help them cook more evenly.
- If you're short on time, you can use canned chickpeas. Just be sure to rinse them well before using.
- Use a food processor or high-powered blender to get the smoothest hummus. If you don't have either of these appliances, you can mash the chickpeas by hand, but it will take a bit more effort.
- Taste the hummus as you go and adjust the seasonings to your liking. You may want to add more lemon juice, garlic, or tahini, depending on your personal preference.
- Hummus is a versatile dish that can be served as a dip, a spread, or a sandwich filling. It's also a great source of protein and fiber.
Conclusion:
Hummus is a delicious and healthy dish that is easy to make at home. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious hummus that is perfect for any occasion. So next time you're looking for a healthy and tasty snack or appetizer, give hummus a try.
