Making Hummus
Taking the ingredients of chickpeas, garlic, tahini, dried cumin, lemon juice and olive oil, you can make your own home-made hummus. Simply take your chickpeas and soak them in cold water overnight. The next day take the chickpeas and let them simmer in a boiling pot of water for two hours and then drain and wash with cool water. Place them in a food processor until the chickpeas become paste-like and then mix in your other ingredients. Serve with pita bread.Cooking.com: Hummus RecipeOther Dips to Try
