Humus

Difficulty 3 (Special Ingredient needed, food processor or blender needed)

Here's my go-to humus recipe.  I don't really follow it exactly so it turns out differently every time.

Chick peas - 2 cans or about 4 cups cooked

Tahini - 1/2 cup

Lemon Juice - 1/4 cup

Worstersire Sauce - 1/4 cup (optional)

Garlic - 2-6 cloves (to taste)

Green onion - 1/4 cup (optional)

Salt to taste

Ground black pepper to taste

Cumin powder - 2-4 tsp (optional)

Chili powder to taste

Cilantro - 1 bunch (optional)

Olive Oil - 1/4 - 1/2 cup (optional)

1.  If you're using dried chick peas cover them with water and let them soak 4-8 hours or over night. (1 cup of chick peas makes about 4 cups cooked)

2.  Rinse the chick peas and cover again with water.  Add salt if you like.  Pressure cook for about 4 whistles (longer if they haven't soaked as long.)

3.  Put the chick peas in a colander and rinse with cold water.

4.  Combine all of the ingredients you want to use from above in a food processor (or blender) and let it process for about 8 minutes. 

5.  Add olive oil or water (I usually just use water) until the humus is your desired consistency.

6.  Taste and adjust seasonings.

7. Enjoy!
