OK, so I didnt follow a recipe exactly. But here is what I used as reference. I saw an episode on food tv about a Moroccan restaurant that served it. http://www.cheapfoodhere.com/cheap-recipes/whole-garbanzo-hummus-recipe ====== Whole Garbanzo Hummus Ingredients ====== * 1 large can of garbanzo beans (chickpeas) * 1/2 yellow onion, finely chopped * 1 fresh Roma tomato, seeded and chopped into small pieces * 2 large garlic cloves, minced * 2 tbsp tahini * 2 tbsp reserved chickpea water * 2 tbsp olive oil * 1 tsp salt * 1 tsp red pepper flakes * juice from half a lime ====== Whole Garbanzo Hummus Directions ====== - Drain garbanzos, reserving 2 tbsp of liquid, and pour into a small pot. - Add reserved liquid, tahini, garlic, red pepper flakes, lime juice and olive oil. - Put on medium heat and stir until well-mixed and hot throughout. - Remove from heat. - Add lemon juice, chopped onion, tomato and salt and mix well. - Serve immediately with warm pita slices. ====== Barbaras Comment on above recipe ====== This recipe calls for canned garbanzo beans, which is fine. I used dried and cooked for several hours in chicken stock and the following spices: Add cumin, coriander, saffron, chili, ginger (dried or real), cinnamon, paprika and cayanne for heat. Then when I had cooked beans, I picked up the recipe. Key to cooking dried garganzo beans is to soak overnight. And never heavy boil, only light simmer. They are notorious for never softening if cooked at a heavy boil. I'm sure yours will turn out great! -B
