Ingredients: This is the original recipe using canned beans. Following this is the recipe I use for a one pound bag of dried beans.
2 cans (about 4 cups) chickpeas (drained; reserve liquid)
3 tablespoons sesame tahini
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
¼ - ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
Dried Beans Recipe (Much Better)
A 1 LB bag gives you about 6 cups of finished beans. Soak the beans overnight in cold water. Drain and rinse and add about 7 cups of hot water and simmer cook until done, I add about a tablespoon of salt while boiling.
( reserve a little of the liquid if you need to thin your hummus)
5 tablespoons sesame tahini
5 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 1/2 teaspoon salt (Depending on how salty your beans come out)
1/4 cup olive oil
¼ - ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
To make Jalapeno Cilantro Hummus:
To 4 cups of hummus
Add:
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper if you didn't use it in the basic recipe.
1/4 tsp cumin
2 fresh jalapeño peppers (Roast them first to get rid of the tough skin)
3/4 cup fresh cilantro
Like a lot of things, the flavors tend to meld and intensify as it is stored so you have to try it a few times to not over salt or over spice/garlic the hummus
