Ingredients:

Chickpea Hummus

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher or coarse salt
  • 3 cups canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • Ground rosemary, for garnish
  • Ground sage, for garnish

Directions:

  1. Place garlic and salt in a mortar and grind with the pestle until a coarse, grainy paste.
  2. Scrape into a large bowl.
  3. Add chickpeas, olive oil, lemon juice and tahini.
  4. Use a potato masher to create a thick, smooth, creamy spread.
  5. Scrape into a serving bowl or small plate and dust with rosemary and sage before serving.

Makes 9 servings.

Fresh chickpeas can be used instead of using canned:

  1. Soak the beans overnight and place them in a slow cooker with water and salt to taste.
  2. Use 32 ounces of water per 1 cup of dried chickpeas.
  3. Cover and cook on high for 3 hours or until tender.
  4. Drain excess liquid.

Makes 3 cups.
