Thanks Here is the recipe for hummus that I've been using for years -- no tahini! I'm not sure who gets original credit for it; it's been passed around the block and what I've listed is "adopted to suit" my personal tastes! Hope this works for you. 2 cups cooked or canned chick-peas, drained 1/2 cup lemon juice 2 garlic cloves, peeled salt and freshly ground pepper to taste 1/4 cup finely chopped scallions Place the chick-peas, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper in a food processor and blend until smooth. Stir in scallions. ~~~ Rec.food.recipes is moderated; only recipes and recipe requests are accepted for posting. Please read the "Posting Guidelines" article.

In fact, it is the only Hummus I make and is always the first thing gone when I serve it to a group of friends!! * Exported from MasterCook II * HUMMUS, LOW FAT Recipe By : Miss Daisy Cooks Light Serving Size : 6 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Dips And Spreads Appetizers - Hors dUoeuvres Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 15 ounces chickpeas 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 1/2 cup sesame seeds -- toasted 1/4 cup onion -- chopped 2 cloves garlic -- minced 2 teaspoons olive oil 2 teaspoons ground cumin 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper Drain the chick peas, reserving 1/2 cup of the liquid. Combine all of the ingredients in a food processor. Process until smooth, add in the reserved liquid if needed to thin the mixture. Refrigerate for several hour before serving to allow the flavors to blend. Note: I toast the sesame seeds in a non-stick skillet on top of the stove and I generally double the garlic. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ~~~ Rec.food.recipes is moderated; only recipes and recipe requests are accepted for posting.
