Curry Hummus
- 2 cans Chickpeas (Garbanzo Beans)
- 2 Tablespoons Pine Nuts, Toasted
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1/2 whole Lemon
- 18 cups Water, More Or Less
- Olive Oil
- Yellow Curry Powder
- Ground Cumin
- Ground Coriander
- Salt
- 1.
- Toast the pine nuts for about 5 minutes on medium heat, shaking the pan every 30 seconds or so.
- Set aside to cool.
- 2.
- Drain the chickpeas in a colander and remove as much of the skins as possible.
- Just squeeze a chickpea and it will pop out of the skin.
- You can squeeze small handfuls of them in the colander and pick through and remove the skins if thats easier.
- 3.
- Put the chickpeas, then the pine nuts and garlic into a food processor.
- Drizzle with olive oil liberally.
- Squeeze the half of the lemon into the processor, and pour maybe 1/8 of a cup of water in.
- Pulse until it is the texture you want.
- If it is too paste-like, add more olive oil or water.
- 4.
- Salt liberally.
- Season with the spices depending on how flavorful you want it.
- (I usually coat the top completely with curry powder and add a few pinches of the other spices.)
- Combine.
- 5.
- Taste, and add more lemon or salt if necessary.
- More salt is almost always necessary!
- 6.
- This is really great in a pita pocket with some lettuce and tomato, or just plain with some chips!
