It's a hot, hot day not much you can do but sit around lounging on this lazy Saturday so I whipped up this yummy appetizer. I love hummus. It's a dip made with garbanzo beans. Here is my original recipe. I say original because I have never seen a recipe using whole sesame seeds. I don't like sesame seed paste (tahini) that comes in a can it doesn't have a fresh taste, I prefer to add fresh toasted seeds the flavor is wonderful. I was so excited I forgot to garnish in the picture oh well, still tastes good! It tastes even better if it sits in the fridge for a while I always have some right away though!
Hummus dip
2 cups garbanzo beans (I cook a package of dry beans but canned would work)
garbanzo cooking liquid as needed
2oz sesame seeds toasted in a skillet
2 cloves garlic
lemon juice to taste
olive oil to taste
toasted sesame oil to taste
salt to taste
paprika or flat leaf parsley for garnish
Add to a blender the garbanzos, sesame seeds, garlic, splash of lemon juice, a pinch of salt, a tablespoon of toasted sesame oil, and enough cooking liquid to blend. Blend on high to desired consistency, taste and correct seasonings. transfer to a serving dish and top with a splash of olive oil and a splash of toasted sesame oil. Garnish with paprika or flat leaf parsley. I serve it with jicama slices, celery sticks, pea pods, pork rinds or even pita chips if I'm serving it to high carbers.
