My Mom's Hummus image

This doesn't get cooked, so the garlic does not mellow. I've scaled back the amount I usually use so as to be slightly more reasonable, but feel free to adjust it further one way or the other to suit your own tastes. Also, if you've never made hummus, it's not the most appealing substance when it's in progress, but it really is good when it's done. And one more note: if, like me, you don't like olives, include them anyway. They do make a flavour difference, but they get completely hidden once everything's all processed and blended.

Time 5m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained (reserve the liquid)
1/4 cup tahini
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon olive, ideally pre-sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced

Steps:

  • Partially drain the chick peas, but leave them a little of their liquid.
  • Pour everything in a food processor, and process the heck out of it using enough of the reserved liquid to allow smooth processing.
  • You shouldn't be left with any particulate matter.
  • Serve with pita bread.
  • Crackers would probably work too.

This hummus is a bit too garlicky for my taste. I would recommend using less garlic next time.

I love that this recipe uses tahini instead of mayonnaise. It gives the hummus a much richer and more authentic flavor.
