Hummus and me
Its a gorgeous day today with sunshining and a successful driving lesson. So I thought I might make hummus. I've never tried it before and surfed on the net for a bit to find out if there were any cardinal rules I should follow. There didn't seem to be so I kind of winged it!
And here's the proof..it was beyond yummy...it was in fact Hummus of Stupendous Goodness or HOSG. So in case you want to try:
1cup cooked,skinned chickpeas
2 pods of garlic
1 tbsp of cumin
1 tbsp of sesame seeds
Lots of lemon juice
A dash of olive oil
Salt and Pepper
(I used dried chickpeas which I had soaked overnight, cooked in a pressure cooker for 30 mts or so, then peeled but a can of chickpeas would probably work just as well)
1. Dry roast the sesame seeds, cumin for a few minutes
2. Dump chickpeas, garlic, sesame seeds, cumin, some water, olive oil and lemon juice in the food processor and whiz until it looks hummusy. Add some salt and pepper and taste liberally. I added more lemon juice as I like hummus lemony.
3. Refridgerate for 15 minutes or so if you like yours chilled and eat with pitta bread or olives or cucumber sticks or on its own. and Bob's your uncle.
Also putting up another pic of an AMAZING roast kit made..the vegetables were roasted underneath the chicken with sesame seeds and coriander. It was very very good.
