ok so i am going to give out my extremely awesome recipe for hummus.
1 can of chic peas
2 tsp of tahini
juice of 1-1 1/2 lemons
12 kalamata olives diced
scant 1/4 cup organic olive oil
2 cloves of crushed garlic
large pinch of cumin
black pepper
1 tsp of good gray or pink salt
chives cut into tiny mini pieces
2 tablespoons pine nuts
%%%%put all the ingredients into a food processor. except the pine nuts!
process that shit! stir in the pine nuts.
*******if it needs more liquid add a tablespoon of water. and then maybe one more tablespoon.
I still have the recipie you sent me two years ago! Here are the rest of the directions you wrote for a more freestyle hummus:

when you throw the goods in the proscessor(ha) add the oil ...but also add a bit of water and your lemons. this is the
juice to lube your peas so you can grind them to mush.
get it!!!!
this must be a funny thing to read.
so usually what i do is grind the peas with the garlic and the lubes,
you want your chics to be a smooth paste. put it in a bowl then season
it in the bowl .......stir and taste. you can even hold off on the
lemons till the seasoning part. this is the best way.
mix, season, taste. add stir,,,,,taste.
this is the best way
the best.
i have fucked up hummus in my day.......mostly by adding too much
tahini. if you don't like tahini don't add it.
many of my cooking friends don't add it. it has a strong flav. but is
traditional. i like it.
if you like dill weed add it. i do.
or if you want to make it spicy.....add some fire.....
wow. i am such a fucking dork!
ReplyDeletei love tahini now!
