Hummus of the Duchess

Hummus of the Duchess

Forget Hummers. Hummus is what is important.
Now Charlene over at Duchess Journal has shared her famous recipe.
(You'll need to go to the site to learn the procedure for proper preparation)


BEST EVER HUMMUS [Yep, this is the recipe I've been talking about in my "personal news" updates. Bon Appetit!]

Ingredients:
2 cups Garbanzo Beans [canned Chickpeas is fine]
1/3 cup Garbanzo liquid or water
1/4 cup Sesame Tahini
1/4 cup fresh Lemon Juice of two lemons
4 cloves of garlic [crushed or whole]
1 tbsp Olive Oil


I'd like to suggest adding a touch of Cumin. Such a noble and ancient spice can hardly find a better home.
