Hummus Among Us

You don't need to be Middle Eastern to whip up a mean hummus. There's just something about homemade that doesn't compare to the store-bought kind in the little tub that's been spun with homogenized oil or some such lubricant. Just grab your chickpeas and get your hummus blender humming!

Ingredients:

1 can chickpeas, drained

1 clove raw garlic

olive oil

the juice of half a lemon

fresh parsley

cayenne pepper

Crackers or pita

Cooking Implements:

Food processor or blender if you don't have one

Instructions

Combine all ingredients in the food processor or blender. Drizzle in some olive oil. I always "wing" the amount of oil, so let's say stream some in while counting 3 Mississippis . Whirl everything together in the food processor. If you're using a blender, you may have some trouble getting the mixture to spin properly. If this happens, add a tiny bit of water and use a spoon to nudge the ingredients down closer to the blade, then try again.

Once your hummus becomes a nice spreadable paste, remove from blender and serve with sesame crackers, pita wedges or some other type of edible scooping device.
