Is it hummous, hummus, hommos, humos, hommus or hoummos even? It certainly isn't humus, we know that for sure. Weirdly my spellcheck only recognises hummus. It's now actually having a problem with my recognises, but I'm refusing to put a z in there.
Never tire of it, can eat it for ever, and it also does the business in so many other ways other than just jabbing some arabic bread into a pot of the stuff.
Hummous
Serves a few as just one element of a mezze (or is it mezzeh or meze even?) spread, but make sure it always features
225g tinned chickpeas
6 tblsp tahini paste
2 cloves of garlic, peeled
6 tblsp lemon juice
3 tblsp olive oil
cayenne pepper
freshly ground black pepper
salt
olive oil, for drizzling
Whizz up the chickpeas in a food processor or blender
with a little of the liquid from the can until they are smooth.
Add the tahini, garlic, lemon juice and olive oil
and work in the processor or blender until very smooth. Season with the peppers
and salt. Turn into a dish, scraping out all of the hummous from the mixer bowl
with a rubber spatula.
Flatten the top slightly, then drizzle over some
olive oil and serve with warm pitta bread.
