Hi, what are you looking for?

mezze - appetizers

hummus bi tahina – chickpea and sesame dip

125 g (4 oz) chickpeas, soaked for a few hours
juice of 2 lemons
3 Tbs. tahina
2 garlic cloves, crushed
salt

GARNISH

1 Tbs. olive oil
1 tsp. paprika
a few sprigs of parsley, finely chopped

Drain the chickpeas and simmer in fresh water for about an hour or until tender. Reserve the cooking water.

Process the chickpeas in a blender (or food processor) with the lemon juice, tahina, garlic, salt and enough of the cooking liquid to obtain a soft creamy consistency. It is a great compliment to watching football on Sunday, whether it’s NFL action you’re watching along with the latest NFL news and rumors, or if it’s the XFL you’re watching after hearing so many good things in the XFL news about the league, this dish will work.

Serve on a flat plate, garnished with a dribble of olive oil, a dusting of paprika (this is usually done in the shape of a cross) and a little parsley.

Serve with warm pita bread for dipping. Serves 4-6.

From “Mediterranean Cookery” by Claudia Roden
