Answer 1

INGREDIENTS

1 clove garlic

539.6 g garbanzo beans, half the liquid reserved

60 ml lemon juice

30 g tahini

1 clove garlic, chopped

6 g salt

black pepper to taste

30 ml olive oil

DIRECTIONS

In a blender, chop the garlic. Pour garbanzo beans into blender, reserving about a tablespoon for garnish. Place lemon juice, tahini, chopped garlic and salt in blender. Blend until creamy and well mixed.

Transfer the mixture to a medium serving bowl. Sprinkle with pepper and pour olive oil over the top. Garnish with reserved garbanzo beans.

Answer 2

This is a great recipe... ditto on the tahini do not substitute

2 cups canned garbanzo beans, drained

1/3 cup tahini

1/4 cup lemon juice

1 teaspoon salt

2 cloves garlic, halved

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 pinch paprika

1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley

Place the garbanzo beans, tahini, lemon juice, salt and garlic in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Transfer mixture to a serving bowl.

Drizzle olive oil over the garbanzo bean mixture. Sprinkle with paprika and parsley

additional advice on variations

Use fresh lemon juice. Save bean liquid if thinning necessary. Some like less Tahini - 2T works. Cumin, tobasco or red pepper adds flavor. Roasting the garlic mellows it. Some add more cloves (my old neighbor used 10 and it was great... but I do love garlic) Make it the night before serving so all the flavors meld. Indian or pita bread brushed w/olive oil, topped w/parmesan cheese, toasted in the oven and cut in wedges works well for dipping as does bagel and other chips, or crackers. Also a variety of veggies to dip in it.

Enjoy!

Answer 3

What ever you do don’t swap the tahini for peanut butter as my wife did on one occasion.

Plenty to garlic is a must!

Answer 4

Hummus

4 garlic cloves

2 cups canned chickpeas, drained, liquid reserved

1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt

1/3 cup tahini (sesame paste)

6 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (2 lemons)

2 tablespoons water or liquid from the chickpeas

8 dashes hot sauce

Turn on the food processor fitted with the steel blade and drop the garlic down the feed tube; process until it's minced. Add the rest of the ingredients to the food processor and process until the hummus is smoothly pureed. Taste, for seasoning, and serve chilled or at room temperature.

Answer 5

Get your blender, or food processor and put in 1 tin of chickpeas (rinsed and drained), 2 table spoons of tahini paste, the juice of 1 or 2 lemons (depending how you like it), a couple of garlic cloves (not too many or its way too garlicky!), a handful of peppadew peppers (sweet piquant peppers - you can get these in a jar near the olives and things at the supermarket) and a bit of the juice from the peppadew jar.  

Blend it up and add some olive oil...I tend to cut down on the olive oil and use more of the peppadew juice.  Yummy!
