"Good Food Gourmet" by Jane Brody
1 2/3 cup cooked chickpeas (garbanzo beans) (1-15-oz can), drained and liquid reserved
1/4 cup tahini (sesame paste)
1/4 cup lemon juice
water, if needed
3 large cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
1/2 tsp. ground coriander
1/4 tsp. cumin
1/4 tsp. paprika
dash cayenne
1/4 cup minced scallions
2 Tbl. minced fresh parsley for garnish
In blender, in batches, or in a food processor, process the chickpeas, tahini and lemon juice until the mixture reaches the consistency of a coarse paste; use as much of the chickpea liquid and/or water as needed.
Add the garlic, coriander, cumin, paprika and cayenne and process the ingredients again to combine them thoroughly. Transfer the hummus to a bowl, stir in scallions.
Cover the hummus and chill it 1 hour before serving time, adding the parsley garnish just before serving the dip.
