2bd5698f | 50 | <p class="first">Yields around one quart</p> |
774ac582 | 51 | |
3cb3fdfc | 52 | <ul> |
98266870 CE |
53 | <li>1 cup dried chick peas (or two cans; if using cans, try to find "no |
54 | salt added" to avoid making things too salty)</li> | |
8dec68f5 CE |
55 | <li>1/2 cup liquid from chick peas</li> |
56 | <li>One head (~8 cloves) of <a href="Roasted%20Garlic.html">Roasted Garlic</a></li> | |
98266870 | 57 | <li>Medium red bell pepper, roasted</li> |
3c59982c | 58 | <li>2 tsp paprika</li> |
774ac582 CE |
59 | <li>1 tbsp dried flaked maras biberi or aleppo pepper (recommended, but |
60 | not required)</li> | |
ec90cd29 | 61 | <li>1 tbsp ground cumin</li> |
8dec68f5 | 62 | <li>1 tsp fine grained sea salt</li> |
98266870 | 63 | <li>5 tbsp (~1 lemon) fresh lemon juice</li> |
8dec68f5 | 64 | <li>3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (if you can get your hands on it, |
98266870 | 65 | <a href="http://www.palestineoliveoil.org/">Holy Land</a> is great)</li> |
3c59982c | 66 | <li>5 tbsp tahini</li> |

74 | Preparing the Beans</h3> | |
75 | ||
76 | <p class="first">Just soak a cup of dried beans at least overnight in a couple of cups | |
3c59982c | 77 | of water. Drain them and throw them into a pot with enough water to |
78 | just more than cover them (an extra inch or so seems to be | |
79 | good). Bring everything to a boil uncovered, and then cut the heat | |
80 | back to simmer partially covered for about an hour or an hour and a | |
81 | half (when the skins split easily they have a good texture).</p> | |
3cb3fdfc | 82 | |
83 | <p>When you drain them save the liquid and use that when blending the | |
84 | hummus.</p> | |

3c59982c | 88 | Bell Pepper</h3> |
3cb3fdfc | 89 | |
98266870 CE |
90 | <p class="first">Scorch the skin off of the bell pepper over flame or under a broiler |
91 | (optional — I leave the skins on and notice no difference), and then | |
92 | <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130527144021/http://www.ochef.com/158.htm">roast the pepper</a>:</p> | |
3c59982c | 93 | |
94 | <blockquote> | |
8dec68f5 CE |
95 | <p class="quoted">To roast the pepper, put the cut pieces in a baking dish with |
96 | about two tablespoons of oil and pop it into a 400°F (205°C) oven, | |
97 | stirring every 15 minutes, until the pieces are tender and | |
98 | slightly blackened on the edges, about 45 minutes.</p> | |
3c59982c | 99 | </blockquote> |
3cb3fdfc | 100 | |
98266870 | 101 | <p>Conveniently, this is the same temperature garlic is roasted at, so |
8dec68f5 CE |
102 | you can roast both at the same time. I like mine a little blackened on |
103 | the edges, but you don't want to go <em>too</em> far, as bell pepper can pass | |
104 | from roasted with just a touch of char to burnt and sad pretty easily.</p> | |

113 | <li>Whisk tahini and olive oil together</li> | |
114 | <li>Add beans, roasted garlic, roasted pepper, and spices to food | |
115 | processor work bowl; process for around 15 seconds</li> | |
116 | <li>Process for 60 seconds while drizzling in chickpea water and lemon | |
117 | juice mixture</li> | |
118 | <li>Process additional 60 seconds</li> | |

8dec68f5 CE |

123 | center for example).</li> | |
98266870 CE |
124 | <li>Take to a gathering of some sort.</li> |

133 | Notes</h2> | |
134 | ||
135 | <p class="first">One time I decided to make hummus for folks and alas! I forgot to soak | |
136 | beans the night before. My strange friend came to the rescue with the | |
137 | equivalent amount of home prepared white beans and it was a good | |
138 | substitute (slightly different flavor, but the spices here really | |
98266870 CE |
139 | dominate). I used water from boiling dried tomatoes (slightly |
140 | different recipe) as there was no fresh chickpea water on hand and it | |
141 | was delightful.</p> | |
3cb3fdfc | 142 | |
3c59982c | 143 | <p>I've used cheap blenders, decent food processors, and a |
11f9bd69 CE |
144 | super-expensive blender to make this. It comes out adequately with |
145 | most any equipment. You can just blend everything together at a | |
146 | moderate speed until the consistency is whatever you consider | |
147 | reasonably smooth, but processing in steps with a good food processor | |
148 | results in a slightly better texture.</p> | |
149 | ||
150 | <p>I've done this with and without removing the skins, and I personally | |
e59991eb | 151 | don't think it's worth the effort to remove the skins.</p> |
