2 can chick peas (i use s & w
1 brand)
2 tbsp lemon juice (or a bit more,
1 if you like lemony hummus)
1 few drops tabasco sauce for
1 mild spicing, more for
1 serious heat
4 tbsp cilantro (variable,
1 depending on your taste for
1 greens)
Directions
Drain one can of chick peas completely, the other one such that some
liquid is left. Put into bowl. Add lemon juice. Mince and add
cilantro and add Tabasco sauce. Blend until smooth. If hummus is not
soft and creamy, then you did not leave enough liquid with the chick
peas. Add some water or lemon juice to make up for it. Serve with
crackers or use as a spread on Whole Wheat bread.

The History of Recipes
It is possible to follow the history of `recipes` way back into distant history, in truth as far back as the Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Interesting though that is, generally, these old cookbooks were just basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for preparing meals.
Later, there were two interesting recipe books from the 14th Century ; a book published under the title `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary named `Curye on Inglish`. Despite their titles, they are unconnected to the indian food that we all know today, but rather descriptions of the types of meals served to the nobility of those days. Later on in the 1400s, knights returning from the crusades brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from the holy land, such as rosemary and coriander. The introduction of these new culinary ideas was responsible for an eruption in recipe publications, most of which still exist in private collections. The arrival of television brings us celebrity TV chefs and the spin-off recipe books. Which brings us neatly to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing everybody to search through thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on our site. |
We hope you enjoy this My Perfect Hummus recipe.
