Ingredients</h2>

<ul>
<li>1 cup dried chick peas (or two cans; if using cans, try to find &quot;no
salt added&quot; to avoid making things too salty)</li>
<li>1/4 cup liquid from chick peas (or vegetable stock)</li>
<li>8 cloves (one head) of <a href="Roasted%20Garlic.html">Roasted Garlic</a></li>
<li>Medium red bell pepper, roasted</li>
<li>2 tsp paprika</li>
<li>1 tsp ground cumin</li>
<li>1/2 tsp table salt</li>
<li>5 tbsp (~1 lemon) fresh lemon juice</li>
<li>2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (if you can get your hands on it,
<a href="http://www.palestineoliveoil.org/">Holy Land</a> is great)</li>
<li>5 tbsp tahini</li>
</ul>


<h2><a name="sec2" id="sec2"></a>
Directions</h2>

<h3><a name="sec3" id="sec3"></a>
Preparing the Beans</h3>

<p class="first">Just soak a cup of dried beans at least overnight in a couple of cups
of water. Drain them and throw them into a pot with enough water to
just more than cover them (an extra inch or so seems to be
good). Bring everything to a boil uncovered, and then cut the heat
back to simmer partially covered for about an hour or an hour and a
half (when the skins split easily they have a good texture).</p>

<p>When you drain them save the liquid and use that when blending the
hummus.</p>


<h3><a name="sec4" id="sec4"></a>
Bell Pepper</h3>

<p class="first">Scorch the skin off of the bell pepper over flame or under a broiler
(optional &mdash; I leave the skins on and notice no difference), and then
<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130527144021/http://www.ochef.com/158.htm">roast the pepper</a>:</p>

<blockquote>
<p class="quoted">To roast the pepper, put the cut pieces in a baking dish with a
little oil and pop it into a 400°F (205°C) oven, until the pieces
are tender and slightly browned, about 35 minutes.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Conveniently, this is the same temperature garlic is roasted at, so
you can roast both at the same time.</p>


<h3><a name="sec5" id="sec5"></a>
And Now for the Actual Hummus</h3>

<ol>
<li>Prepare the beans (or open canned beans)</li>
<li>Add beans, roasted garlic, and chickpea water to food process work
bowl and process for two minutes</li>
<li>Add lemon juice; process for one minute</li>
<li>Add tahini, roasted bell pepper, salt, cumin, and paprika; process
for one minute</li>
<li>Drizzle olive oil in while processing for three minutes.</li>
<li>Garish if you desire (minced garlic, capers, coarsely ground black
pepper, and olive oil for example)</li>
<li>Take to a gathering of some sort.</li>
<li>Watch the hummus evaporate.</li>
</ol>


<h2><a name="sec6" id="sec6"></a>
Notes</h2>

<p class="first">One time I decided to make hummus for folks and alas! I forgot to soak
beans the night before. My strange friend came to the rescue with the
equivalent amount of home prepared white beans and it was a good
substitute (slightly different flavor, but the spices here really
dominate). I used water from boiling dried tomatoes (slightly
different recipe) as there was no fresh chickpea water on hand and it
was delightful.</p>

<p>I've used cheap blenders, decent food processors, and a
super-expensive blender to make this. It comes out about the same each
time. You can just blend everything together at a moderate speed until
it is whatever you consider reasonable smooth, but processing in steps
with a good food processor results in a slightly better texture.</p>
