I guess being sick has made me crave something I haven't had for
awhile. To tell you the truth, I don't know where we got this, and
maybe it's not even Hummus, but it's pretty good. We like it with
large black and green olives, sweet (vidalia or Wall Walla) onion
leaves, whole-wheat pita bread ripped up. My wif'es favorite is cuke
slices - none for me, thanks. Sometimes some carrots or celery. The
tahini is available at a local health food store, and seems to have
dropped considerably in price over the last few years.
2 15-1/2 oz cans garbanzo beans, drain ONE can
1/4 cup olive oil
1 Tablespoon white wine vinegar
1/4 cup peeled and coarsly chopped yellow onion
2 cloves garlic, rough chop
Cayenne pepper to taste (we like a lot)
1/4 cup tahini
salt to taste (easy on the salt - after it mixes, a little goes a long
way)
Sometimes I add a grind of black pepper
Throw it all in a food processor, pulse at first, then let 'er rip.
It takes longer than you think to get it smooth - I like it a little
more chunky myself. Good stuff.
