Typically the words "delicious", and "vegetarian" don't go in the same sentence but in this case it actually is. A lot Middle Eastern dishes are vegetarian and have no lack in flavor. Hummus is an example of that. Hummus is a dish that is usually served as an appetizer or a light and very healthy but very tasty snack and usually is accompanied by toasted or fresh pita. It is made up of ground up chickpeas (or garbanzo beans as some call them). This recipe is simple and will take you 10 minutes to make. How much easier could it get?
Ingredients:- 1 16 oz can of chickpeas or 16 oz freshly soaked chickpeas
- Juice from 1/2 a lemon
- 1 1/2 tablespoons tahini (sesame seed paste)
- 2 cloves garlic chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Drain chickpeas and set aside liquid.
Combine all ingredients except olive oil and blend well.
Transfer to a bowl and make an indentation in the center of the hummus.
Add olive oil in the indentation and garnish with parsley
Refrigerates for 3 days and freezes for 1 month.
