Lebanese Hummus image

This is a fusion of Middle Eastern and South Asian tastes. You haven't lived till you've tried it. It goes good as veggie or naan or pita bread dip, or even in spoonfuls straight from the bowl. We like this recipe so much we have to triple it to make sure it isn't all eaten right after being put out.

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 cups cooked and cooled chickpeas, liquid reserved
2 tablespoons peeled and chopped garlic
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup sesame oil
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon turmeric

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients in a bowl, mash or food process till smooth, adding reserved liquid as necessary to make a semi-thick paste.
  • Adjust the salt and lemon; they should contrast and enhance each other to wake up your palate but not overpower.
