915 Bootcamp is cancelled for Monday, 6/5

Sorry 915'rs. I have to cancel bootcamp this morning. Have a family health issue and couldn't find anyone to cover class for me at the last minute. I'm sorry. We're on for Wednesday, though.

Homemade Hummus Recipe

Here is one I haven't tried, but a basic recipe for Hummus:
(Tip: make it in a blender for creamier hummus, rather than a food processor)

2 (15oz) cans organic chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/3 cup olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
3 TBs sesame tahini (Grande Foods or New Frontier)
2-3 cloves garlic, minced or crushed
1/4 cup water, more or less for desired thickness
Pinch of ground cumin or ground coriander (optional)
salt/pepper to taste
Paprika (preferably Hungarian smoked paprika, if you can find it)

Place 1/2 the chickpeas and o.o. in a blender. Pulse several times, stopping to stir with a rubber spatula. When the mixture is almost pureed and creamy, add the remaining chickpeas, o.o., lemon juice, tahini, garlic, cumin, and a little salt. Pulse, stopping several times, until the mixture is very creamy. Season with salt and pepper; add more lemon juice to tast if necessary.

Transfer to an airtight container, and chill for 30 minutes before serving.

Variations: fold in after pureeing: carmelized onions or shallots, roasted garlic, roasted carrots, roasted beets, roasted red peppers.

Or, add fresh herbs like dill or parsley.

Like I mentioned earlier, I haven't tried this one yet. So let me know what you think! I will post the recipe I have made several times later. It doesnt use any o.o. just the liquid from the chickpeas.
