Rachelle's Hummus


Submitted by albalovescholo

Makes 64 servings

this recipe is based upon the traditional recipe, but as i use so much garlic, it is a bit spicy. if you are sensitive to garlic, or are not fond of the taste of raw garlic, reduce by half, or just use one.

Ingredients
600 g chickpeas (high-quality; drained and rinsed)
2/3 cups lemon juice
6 tbls organic extra-virgin olive oil
6 tbls tahini
3 tbls fresh parsley
5 cloves garlic (large, not elephant)
Directions
  1. process all ingredients in a food processor--done. TIP: put the garlic through a garlic press if you have one, otherwise the flavour is stronger than you might expect, and you may end up with chunks. these can be a fun and crunchy surprise, but ONLY if you love fresh garlic.
