If you want to know how to make hummus, look no further. Our authentic hummus recipe is easy and delicious. A dip recipe made of chick peas may sound odd if you haven't tried it before, but once you do, you'll understand why hummus is a Middle Eastern standard. The traditional dipper for hummus is pita bread cut into wedges, but you can also use vegetables. It makes a great appetizer or party food, but is also a wonderful side dish served with grilled marinated chicken or other meat and a salad. Ingredients: 2 cups canned chick peas, drained or the same amount fresh cooked 2/3 cup tahini 1/2 cup lemon juice 2 cloves mashed garlic 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon cumin parsley for garnish oil Place chick peas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, salt and cumin in food processor. Mix until smooth. The hummus may be a bit thick, so thin it out by adding a bit of oil or liquid from the can of chick peas. Using the liquid from the can obviously makes it a low fat hummus recipe, but the oil adds a lovely richness to the hummus that is my preference. Refrigerate. Just before serving sprinkle chopped parsley on top.
