Hummus

by Joshua Green

I just thought you might not be taking advantage of the beauty of hummus.  It's so simple, and it goes on so much stuff!

I like dry chick peas, but you can do canned.  I soak them either overnight in tap water, or put them in a pot with water, bring it to boil, then turn off the flame and leave it for 2 hrs.

Then, I boil them for at least 45min, until they're soft.  If you use cans, this is where you're at.

So now, just toss that in a food processor (just beans, but I like to use the liquid to thin it out, so add a tablespoon or two and check texture while blending.

Then just add Tahini (the only problem is remembering to stock tahini) and some olive oil and some onion powder.

BAM.  I have devoted fans all over the city.  I make it for Emily's dancers and send it with broccoli/carrots/celery as a dip, or spread it on a sandwich instead of mayo.

So useful.  So easy.

Oh, and some salt :)
