Quick Homemade Hummus dip.

It only takes 10 mins and it’s much better than store-bought, and does not included added preservatives.

Do you know, that the earliest known recipes for a dish similar to hummus are recorded in cookbooks written in Cairo in the 13th century!

Ingredients:

• 1 (19-ounce) can chickpeas (leave some chickpeas for serving)

• 1/3 fresh lemon juice

• 2-3 tablespoons tahini

• 1 small garlic clove

• Extra-virgin olive oil for serving

• Dash ground paprika, for serving

• Zaatar, for serving (you could buy it in the imported foods department in superstore or some Arabic store).

• Salt to taste

Preparation

1. Put the chickpea liquid from the can, lemon juice, lemon skin, garlic clove, and salt in the food processor and process for 1 min.

2. Add the tahini to the mixture and mix until it produces a smooth puree.

3. Add the chickpeas to the food processor and mix until it produces a smooth puree.

Serve in deep dish with the olive oil and sprinkle with paprika, zaatar, and whole chickpeas.

I like to add chili garlic powder, parsley, and pine nuts.

As an appetizer and dip, hummus is scooped with flatbread, such as pita.

Take pita, sprinkled with olive oil, lemon, salt and pepper, and put in the oven for 350F for couple of min, until it becomes crisp.

I cannot show you how it look ready, because I had forgotten about my pita, and it burned

:-(

I think you'll be more careful than me and you will succeed!
