Being in Kuwait for several years, it was pretty easy to develope the taste
for good Arabic/Middle eastern food. And what is better than Hummus.
Of course we all have our variations and I have mine as well. The ingredient which really adds the kick in my hummus is green chillies. :) Here is my very simple recipe. Dump the following in a food processor and blend till smooth. 2 cans of garbanzo beans (drained and washed) 2 tablespoons Tahini (sesame paste available at mediterranean stores) 2 thai green chillies ( add more or less upon your spice level) 2-3 table spoons lemon juice 4-5 cloves of garlic (Again more or less depending on your taste) 2-3 heaped tablespoons of yogurt (to make it richer you can add sour cream instead) salt to taste Blend the above ingredients till smooth and then add in 2-3 tbsp olive oil to make the mixture smooth. Serve garnished with drizzle of olive oil, tomatoes, olives and enjoy with pita or chips. |
ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious. I will definitely be trying it soon. This years I'm growing my own Thai chiles and I usually have the rest of the ingredients on hand.
I often put hummus in half a pita bread and top it with chopped tomatoes, chunks of avocado, and some salsa. It's really a delicious mix.
That sounds delicious. I usually have hummus as a dip, in a falafel sandwidth or with chicken tandoori. It goes well with the spicy chicken.
