Mrs. G'S Garlic Cilantro Pine Nut Hummus
- 10 garlic cloves
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 (15 1/2 ounce) cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed (garbanzos are the same thing)
- 2/3 cup tahini, well stirred
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (or to taste)
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup water
- 2 bunches cilantro, stems cut off (or to taste)
- 2 tablespoons pine nuts, lightly toasted (or more to taste)
- 2 tablespoons ground cumin (or to taste)
- On a cutting board mince and mash the garlic to a paste with the salt.
- In a food processor puree the chick-peas with the garlic paste, the tahini, the lemon juice, the oil and water, scraping down the sides, until the hummus is smooth. Add water/oil, if necessary, to thin the hummus to the desired consistency.
- Add salt to taste.
- Add cumin and blend, taste and adjust if necessary.
- Add cilantro and process until chopped into mixture.
- Add toasted pine nuts and process until blended -- or you can just add them on top, whole, as garnish.
- Transfer the hummus to a bowl and serve.
