     Hummus (Chick Pea Spread)

Category   Salads - Soups - Sidedishes
Sub Category   None

Ingredients
2 cups canned chick peas (garbanzo beans)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2-3 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
1/2- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup (or more) fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped parsley or mint
Pita Bread
 

Instructions
Drain chick peas through a strainer or sieve and wash them under cold running water. Spread them on paper towels to dry.
Place the chick peas, salt, garlic, 1/2 cup of oil, and 1/4 cup lemon juice in blender or food processor and blend for 10 seconds. Stop the machine, and scrape down the sides with a rubber spatula.
Blend again (at high speed if you are using a blender), adding as much additional oil as you need to keep the blender from clogging. The finished hummus should be smooth and keep its shape when dipped up with the pita. Add more lemon juice or salt if you like. I tend to add more lemon juice, and go lighter on the garlic for this recipe.
Transfer the hummus to a small serving bowl, and sprinkle with parsley or mint. Mint is really preferable and tastes great. Cut pita bread into wedges, and arrange them on a large plate around the bowl of hummus, and dip away.
