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 actually possible to trace the history of recipes back into ancient history, at least as far into history as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. Interesting though that maybe, sadly, these early recipes were just very basic pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
As we move into Roman times 25BC a man called Apicius created a number of scripts detailing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he describes how the roman meals were split into appetizers, entrees and afters, a style of dining still practiced today. Aspicius also tells us how the ancient chefs used many different spices, including some familiar names like thyme, mint and parsley. Later, in the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods, spices and herbs from the holy land, including coriander, parsley, basil and rosemary. These new spices and herbs led to an outbreak in manuscripts on cooking, many of which are kept safe in private cookery archives. By the advent of the 20th century, cooking publications were in great demand, due to better eduction, people having more leisure time and having more money. |
