Hummus, again

This is a Middle Eastern dip I like very much. Try it!

You need:

2 cans garbanzo beans OR white beans (you can buy these at the Seria across the street!)

4 cloves of garlic

2 tablespoons of sesame paste (練り胡麻 works fine)

2 to 4 tablepoons of olive oil

1 or 2 teaspoon of cumin

1 or 2 tablespoons of lemon juice


To make hummus:

1. Fry the garlic in the olive oil until it's soft and a little bit brown.

2. Put the beans (without the liquid in the can), the sesame paste, the cumin, the lemon juice, and the garlic with the oil into a blender. Blend it until it's smooth.

3. Add salt until it tastes good.

4. Serve it cold, with paprika on top. I usually eat it with naan or in a sandwich, but many people like to eat it with chips!
