Hummus And Tahini Dip

This is a popular dish in the Middle East; more frequently used as a dip. This goes well with Pitta bread.



  • 1 cup chickpeas
  • 3 cups of water
  • 1/2 a cup of Tahini
  • 2 tablespoons of lemon juice
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 2 tablespoons of parsley; minced well
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon of chili powder
  • Salt and Pepper to taste
Method:
Soak the peas for 12 hours. Boil well. Keep aside a few for garnishing. Blend the chickpeas with salt, pepper, tahini, garlic and half of the chopped parsley. Add lemon juice. This paste should be thick and very smooth. Pour it into a dish with olive oil. Garnish with the remaining chickpea and parsley.

  2. We love hummus. My 4 year old eats it by the spoonful. :) Your recipe looks good. I like the addition of chili powder.
