how do you make YOUR hummus?:)

Having grown up in North Africa...I love to make traditional hummus:

Ingredients:

1 16 oz can of chickpeas or garbanzo beans
1/4 cup liquid from can of chickpeas
3-5 tablespoons lemon juice (depending on taste)
1 1/2 tablespoons tahini
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1/2 teaspoon salt

I haven't made it in a long time (since I worked at a Greek/Middle Eastern tapas bar), but when I was there we would boil the chickpeas, then throw a red onion in the pot and let it sit overnight. In the morning we'd throw it in the food processor (not the onion) with fresh garlic, olive oil, and lemon juice.

What a great easy idea! Would you add any tahini to that?

Edit: forgot cumin

NEVER forget the cumin!!! :happy:

I know! I go through cumin faster than any other spice. I use it in almost everything I cook.
