Hummus

a Recipe from Epicurious.com for Hummus
    • 2 cups drained well-cooked or canned chickpeas, liquid reserved
    • 1/2 cup tahini (sesame paste), optional, with some of its oil
    • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus oil for drizzling
    • 2 cloves garlic, peeled, or to taste
    • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
    • 1 tablespoon ground cumin or paprika, or to taste, plus a sprinkling for garnish
    • Juice of 1 lemon, plus more as needed
    • Chopped fresh parsley leaves for garnish

PREPARATION

    1. 1. Put everything except the parsley in a food processor and begin to process; add the chickpea liquid or water as needed to allow the machine to produce a smooth puree.
    2. 2. Taste and adjust the seasoning (I often find I like to add much more lemon juice). Serve, drizzled with the olive oil and sprinkled with a bit more cumin or paprika and some parsley.
