Dan's classified, top secret hummus recipe

There is little wonder that hummus - the delicious, centuries-old Middle Eastern staple - has spread around the world. But if you were wondering why this happened, why not give this hummus recipe a try. While professional hummus makers tend to keep their recipes to themselves, hoping to draw customers to their restaurants (and win hummus-making contests), my friends continuously nag me me for my recipe, so despite its classified status, I have included it here for you. All I ask, is that you don't tell anyone about it! And remember, the secret is in the chickpea paste.

Try this great hummus dip!

You can, of course, use canned chickpeas. But I assure you that the resulting hummus dip won't taste nearly as good as when you make the chickpea paste yourself. (Click here for the chickpea paste recipe - it's easy).

So here goes - Dan's classified hummus recipe. And please don't tell anyone about it, OK?

Try this authentic hummus dip recipe:

INGREDIENTS:

bullet Chickpea paste from 1 pound dried chickpeas
bullet 1 cup water reserved from chickpea paste preparation or mineral water
bullet 2 cups tahini sauce, prepared from tahini paste
bullet 3-4 tablespoons olive oil, or to taste
bullet ½ cup lemon juice, or to taste
bullet Salt and pepper to taste
bullet 1 cup reserved chickpeas, for garnish
bullet ½ cup parsley, shredded (for garnish)
   

PREPARATION:

bullet Put the chickpea paste in a large bowl, and slowly blend in the tahini paste, olive oil and water until you achieve your desired consistency (it should have a thick, pasty texture rather than a runny one).
bullet Add the lemon juice and salt and pepper.
bullet Garnish with a drop of olive oil, paprika, reserved chickpeas and/or parsley, if desired, and serve.
   

Serving suggestion: Hummus is great as a dip at a meat barbecue. Try halving a pita and filling the pocket with a dollop of hummus, a piece of steak grilled to perfection and some sliced pickles. And don't forget to let me know what you think.
