Ingredients</h2>

<ul>
<li>1 cup dried chick peas (or two cans)</li>
<li>1/4 cup liquid from chick peas (or vegetable stock)</li>
<li>8 cloves of <a href="Roasted%20Garlic.html">Roasted Garlic</a></li>
<li>Medium red bell pepper</li>
<li>2 tsp paprika</li>
<li>5 tbsp lemon juice (fresh if possible)</li>
<li>2 tbsp olive oil (middle eastern if possible; the cultivars taste
different!)</li>
<li>5 tbsp tahini</li>
<li>1/2 tsp kosher salt</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,
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 25 to 30 minutes.</p>
</blockquote>


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

<ol>
<li>Prepare the beans (or be lame and use canned beans)</li>
<li>Throw everything together in a blender or food processor and blend
until it is smooth</li>
<li>Put whatever frilly garnish to make it look better on it if you must</li>
<li>Take to a gathering of some sort</li>
<li>Goodbye hummus</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 the water from boiling the dried tomatoes 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. Just blend everything together at a moderate speed until it is
whatever you consider reasonable smooth.</p>
