Yep, I did it. I made hummus. And it was good. I used a recipe I found on Brown Eyed Baker and added extra garlic, as I was making it for a fantasy football draft. So yummy and flavorful!
Ingredients:
3 Tbs lemon juice
1/4 C water
6 Tbs tahini
2 Tbs olive oil
1 can chick peas
2 cloves garlic (feel free to use more garlic, it just gets better)
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp cumin
*Note: tahini is a paste made from ground sesame seeds. It can be found in most grocery stores. Don't ask me where, though. When I buy it here, it's in the bottles with only Arabic.
1) Mix lemon juice and water.
2) Mix tahini and olive oil.
3) Rinse and drain chickpeas. Process in a food processor with the garlic, salt, and cumin.
4) Add lemon juice and process.
5) Then add tahini and process one minute, until smooth.
6) Pour into a bowl and let it sit for at least half an hour before serving. That lets it get super flavorful.
Buon appetito!

By the way, I read the most amazing article about peanut butter and jelly sandwiches here. It reminds me of the peanut butter-honey-marshmallow crème sandwiches my roommate used to make. Sometimes I wish I was still in college so I could eat ridiculous things like that again and not look silly.
