HUMMUS
2 cans garbanzo beans, drained
juice of two small lemons
3to 4 tablespoons yogurt
1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon sugar
fresh parsley, chopped
1.Chop garbanzos in food processor for a few seconds, using on-off pulses.
2.Remove about a half cup and reserve.
3.Add lemon juice, yogurt, olive oil, cumin, coriander and sugar, and process till smooth, scraping down sides of
bowl.
4.Transfer to a mixing bowl and add the reserved chopped garbanzos, combining well with spoon.
5.Taste and correct seasonings.
6.Transfer to serving bowl and garnish with chopped fresh parsley and a dollop of olive oil.
Note: I put fresh lemons in the microwave for about 30-45 seconds before juicing them...I get a lot more juice from
them this way.
