The ingredients for Tahini Hummus are:

2 1/2 cups of canned garbanzo beans (drained and rinsed)
1/3 cup of fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup of tahini
2 cloves garlic crushed
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp ground cayenne (this is spicy, try 1/4 tsp if you don't want as much heat)
1 tsp salt
1/3 c water
parsley and olive oil to garnish (not included in total cause its yummy without it)

Here is how you make Tahini Hummus:

Put 1/2 the lemon juice and all ingredients into the blender except the chickpeas (and the parsley and oil for garnish) and blend for 5 seconds. Add the chick peas and blend on high until it reaches the the consistency of sour cream, but granular, about 10-15 seconds. Blend in remaining lemon juice to taste. If the dip is too thick but you don't want to add more lemon juice, add a little water slowly and blend until it reaches the correct consistency. Transfer to a serving bowl, cover and refrigerate for a few hours before serving. (It can be eaten immediately, but becomes even more flavorful if left to chill well.) Drizzle of olive oil over the top and add a garnish of parsley or black olives before serving. Serve with pita wedges or slices of whole grain breads.Number of Servings: 20Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user KRISTIRAE30.
