Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 tbsp canola oil

1/4 c minced red onion

2 clove garlic -- minced

or 1 tsp prepared minced garlic

1/4 c minced fresh flat-leaf parsley

1 tbsp minced fresh basil

or 1/2 tsp dried basil

1 tsp minced fresh oregano

or 1/2 tsp dried oregano

1/4 tsp ground coriander

1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper -- or to taste

1/8 tsp ground cumin -- or to taste

1 15-oz can garbanzo beans -- drained and rinsed

3 tbsps fresh lemon juice

2 tbsps toasted sesame seeds

salt -- to taste

 

Heat the oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and

garlic, cook, stirring occasionally, until aromatic and tender, about 3

minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in the parsley, basil, oregano,

coriander, pepper, and cumin.

 

Process the garbanzo beans and lemon juice in a food processor until the

mixture is smooth. Add the bean mixture, sesame seeds, and salt to the

skillet; stir evenly until combined. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Let

cool.

 

Variation

White Bean Hummus: Substitute olive oil for the canola oil and one 15-ounce

can white beans for the garbanzos. Because white beans are moister, reduce

the lemon juice to 2 tablespoons.

NOTES : For an open-faced sandwich appetizer, spread hummus on small squares

of white bread and top with thin cucumber slices and bits of cherry

tomatoes. This aromatic spread is also an ingredient in Middle Eastern Pita

Pockets. Use leftover hummus as a dip for fresh vegetables or as a spread

for crackers. The flavour actually improves if hummus is made in advance,

so plan ahead a day or two.

 

Advance preparation: Hummus will keep for up to 5 days in a covered

container in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature before serving.
