what you need
- 2 cans chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed (I used Bush's)
- 1 cup peeled tomatoes (canned is fine)
- 1 tablespoon tahini (sesame) paste
- 4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/2 tablespoons basil, fresh chopped (about 15 leaves)
make it
In a food processor, blend the chickpeas. Add the rest of the ingredients and blend until it forms a creamy, paste-like consistency.
Pour mixture into a large serving bowl.
Cover and refrigerate for one hour.
Notes
You can adjust the cumin depending on how strong you like it. I use less for my family's taste. Even people who do not like hummus like this recipe.
