This is a great one to make for guests or parties. It is also very cost efficient and simple to make. You can start by soaking Garbanzo beans for about 10 hours, then leaving them to sprout in a strainer for about 8 hours, rinsing them every hour or two. Then you cook them, boil them in water until soft and starchy. Its important to soak and rinse and sprout. The more you rinse your beans the less gas will occur, as you will wash away the acid on beans that cause flatulence. And when you sprout them you are bringing the digestive enzymes alive in the beans making them allot easier to digest. And never, ever add salt to the water to which you boil your beans or else you will have very tough and chewy beans. So, when boiling any bean, boil in water and water only, adding salt at the very end after all the spices, etc. Also, reserve the water liquid used to boil beans and add that to the hommus mixture if too dry.
Then you always have the easy route, a can of beans!
2 cups cooked Garbanzo Beans
1/2 cup Tahini
1/2 cup olive oil
Juice of one Lemon
1 teaspoon salt (or more for taste)
1/4th teaspoon Cumin Powder
Garnish with lots of Olive Oil, cumin powder, Sumack or Paprika, fresh parsley and Kalamata Olives.
Enjoy!
