This is really fun to make, and delicious too. You will need a food processor in order to get the consistency right.
With the chopping blade in place on the food processor, put the lemon zest, salt
and garlic cloves
through the feed tube, then pulse about 10-12 times until minced.
Drain the chickpeas; rinse with water, and then drain again. Add them to the work bowl
then add the tahini,
water and lemon juice
and cumin.
Process this until it is smooth and creamy. With the machine running, add the olive oil
and parsley
through the food tube. Process until smooth. Enjoy with pita, crackers, crudite, and as a sandwich spread. There are a lot of possibilities!
I love bringing pita, veggies and hummus for lunch - easy to pack, good mix of carbs, protein and veggies. For more great ideas for lunch, visit the
