I would like to make hummus. I have tried a couple of recipes, but haven't gotten the right one yet.

1 can of drained chickpeas (garbanzo)
1 large close of garlic (chopped)
2-3 tablespoons of lemon juice (reconstituted is ok)
2-3 tablespoons of tahini
1/2 to 3/4 tsp salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
Put the lemon and garlic in the food processor to grind. Add the drained chickpeas, and the rest of the ingredients. Chilled it tastes better. To serve spread it in a plate as in the picture and pour a little olive oil in the center. Sprinkle a bit of paprika and cumin on to make it attractive and garnish with chopped parsley.
Hummus
1 can garbonzo beans
2 cloves roasted garlic
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon sesame seed
3/4- 1 tsp salt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Drain peas and reserve to add to hummus as you process. Process all ingredients adding pea broth until you have the consistency you want. You don't want it too thin so add a little at a time.
To roast a red bell pepper: split a red bell pepper in half lengthwise and remove the seeds but not the stem. Coat the outside with canola oil and bake inside down in a 250 degree oven until skin looks blistered and beginning to turn dark brown to black. Remove and cool and the skin will slide off easily.
I found this easy and I didn't have to buy the tahini paste which is pricy. It tastes like the hummus in the stores.
