Hello, can you explain what hummus is and how to make it? I am very interested.Thanks

Hummus is basically chic peas:
.
Here's a recipe I came across (might have even been posted on these forums?):
.
- start with a can of chick peas, rinsed and drained
- add something wet (a bit of water, a bit of lemon juice is what I use)
- add something savory (garlic, roasted red pepper, & cilantro are my favorites)
- salt and pepper if you like
- most hummus uses either a lot of olive oil or tahini, which is more fat than I want, so I use a few drops (maybe half a tsp) of sesame oil which gives flavor but not as much fat.
.
Put it all in a food processor and mix until smooth.

Hummus is chick peas (garbanzo beans) pureed together with garlic, a little oil , sometimes tahini, lemon, etc. If you google it, you can find tons of info and recipes. You can also purchase hummus ready-made in any grocery store.

Thank you both.
I actually found out it is originally from Lebanon and it sounds really good. I saw that
