Hummus is one of those recipes that is great to have in your pocket when you forget you are having guest over in 20 minutes. It’s healthy and can be used numerous ways (not just to dip your veggies and pita in!) One of my favorites is to lather it on a grilled cheese.
1. Put the chickpeas with ½ cup of their cooking liquid (or water) in a blender, add the garlic, oil, and tahini, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Purée for a minute or 2 until the mixture is very smooth. Add more cooking liquid, oil, or tahini as you like until the consistency is like a smooth dip or thick soup. (Refrigerate for up to a couple days or freeze for months.)
2. Transfer the purée to a medium saucepan over medium heat (or use the microwave); heat through while stirring constantly. Add the lemon juice, then taste and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as needed. Serve warm, garnished with parsley.
(Additions: Roasted Red Peppers, Roasted Garlic, Pesto, Chopped nuts, Olives, Cumin, Curry Powder, Chile Paste)
