Yield Serves about 6 as an appetizer

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 can chickpeas
juice of 1 lemon
2 green onions diced
1/2 a garlic
1 tbsp tahini
1 tbsp sesame seeds
olive oil
1 tbsp balsamic vinigar
1 tsp soy sauce
pepper
pita bread for dipping
3 olives for garnish

Steps:

  • Start by roasting the garlic. Cut garlic in half, by turning garlic on it's side, and slicing straight down. wrap 1 half in aluminum foil, and place in oven for 30 mins at 375 degrees. Pour about 1 tablespoon of oil into a large pan at medium heat. When oil is heated add diced green onions. Saute for about 1 minute, and add chickpeas, soy sauce, balsamic vinigar, and pepper. Mix and cover for about 3 mins. Uncover, and saute for another minute, then remove from heat. In food processor combine chickpea mixture, lemon juice, tahini, sesame seeds, and about 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Take roasted garlic and squeeze out the roasted cloves, and place in food processor with other ingredients. blend all ingredients thoroughly in processor until mixture is smooth. Use more or less olive oil to reach desired consistency. hummus should be thick not runny. Place hummus mixture in small serving bowl, and garnish with olives. drizzle olive oil over the top and serve with warmed pita bread on the side for dipping. Enjoy!
