Hummus to your taste!
When you dine at The Fieldston Restaurant you aren’t offered the typical bread and butter on the table, rather, you will indulge in a heavenly serving of hummus! Now, Jan Perrin shares his much-loved recipe with the rest of us!
Hummus
2 lbs. (2 small cans) of garbanzo beans (chickpeas)
lemons
chopped garlic
olive oil
Salt and pepper
Put garbanzo beans in mixer and add 1/2 cup of oil.
Blend until smooth, check consistency, add more oil if you want your hummus thinner, I do.
It is never too thin and never too thick.
Add the juice of 1/2 lemon and blend, taste for tartness, add more lemon if you like, I do.
It is never too tart.
Add a tablespoon of chopped garlic and blend, taste for garlic, add more if you like, I always do.
It is never too garlicky.
Salt and pepper to taste, but be careful it can get too salty.
I prefer kosher salt and course pepper.
Dip your favorite bread, crackers, vegetables or eat it by the spoon!
Can't find garbanzo beans? Try white kidney or black beans.
Substitute peanut or sesame oil, if you like.
Invent and create!
