Grocery List - You will need the following to complete the hummus hor'dourves recipe:
2 cups canned garbanzo beans, drained
1/3 cup tahini
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
2 cloves garlic, halved
1 tbsp olive oil
Pita Loaves
Cucumber
Roma Tomatoes


Step 1: Make fresh hummus

2 cups canned garbanzo beans, drained
1/3 cup tahini
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
2 cloves garlic, halved
1 tbsp olive oil

1. Place garbanzo beans, tahini, lemon juice, salt and garlic in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Transfer to a serving bowl or container that you can store extras in. Drizzle olive oil on top.

Note: I made it today and just realized that the recipe only called for 2 cups of beans. I put two whole cans of beans in it. No wander it was kind of thick. It still turned out good though.

Step 2: Prepare other ingredients.

Pita Loaves (Toast in toaster oven and cut into 8 wedges each)
Cucumbers (skin and slice)
Roma Tomatoes (Slice)

Step 3: Put together hor'dourves

Layer from bottom to top

Pita wedge
Hummus
Cucumber slice
Drop of hummus (to hold tomato on)
Tomato slice

Step 4: Plate and eat

This is where I would include a picture but I have already consumed the ones I made today. I still have plenty of hummus left so I will take a pic later when I make it again this week.

What exactly is Hummus?? I've heard of it, but I've never actually tried it, or seen it up close before...it sounds too much like Pumice, which doesn't sound very edible or appetizing... :blink:

humus is basically garbonzo beans and olive oil blended together. The other things are just whatever spices you want to put in it.

Pitas and humus > chips and dip.

The recipe I used actually uses very little olive oil and I think you can get away from using it.

Think of bean paste flavored with lemon juice and garlic.

Oh...that's Hummus?? I like that stuff... :D
