Chick peas were made into hummus. The dried peas were boiled for 20 minutes to soften.Raw hulled sesame seeds were cooked for seven minutes.Ingredients sesame, peas, a tablespoon of olive oil, water, and garlic was blended to a smooth texture. Two batches were made. The end product is fine eating as is or it may be used as a spread. Salt can be added if deemed necessary.It is just another nourishing convenient food.

I like to add lemon juice, and cumin is good if you like it.

Agree with lemon and cumin. A pinch of baking soda when boiling the chickpeas helps to soften the skins and makes the hummus a lot smoother.

My first effort. It sure is nice and should be nourishing.

Also nice with a bit of roasted red pepper in it along with the lemon and cumin.

Very filling. I never had hummus before. My interest was to utilize the chick peas which are very low cost. I suppose one could even use the commercial canned chick peas.

I will make some tortillas tomorrow and use the hummus as a spread or fill.

I used to spread it on a rice paper wrap and add slivered peppers, green oinions and shrimp, wrap it up and have a couple for lunch.

Are the raw sesame seeds good?
I always use a toasted tahini paste (and canned chickpeas and olive oil, sesame oil, soy sauce, lemon juice and minced garlic.)

It's really the only thing I use my Cuisinart for.

I like it in a tortilla wrap or pita with bean sprouts and sliced cucumber.

The bulk food store raw, hulled sesame seeds were good quality. I cooked them in water in the microwave. They had two types raw and toasted.

I usually make hummus when there are a bunch of people coming over for dinner. It goes fast.

Try the toasted next time, Durgan. I'll bet you like them better. Better yet use the toasted tahini and let THEM do the grinding for you.
A jar lasts in the fridge until the Second Coming.

I haven't made hummus in a while. I used to buy the can of chick peas at Shop Rite in Jersey City during Can Can twice a year. For years they sold for 4/$1. Now in Manhattan the price is $1 a can and it is cheaper fro me to buy when Jack's $.99 store often has the SABRA Hummus on sale for $1 for a 12 ouncer.

I serve with pita also. Something about hummus that feels so very HEALTHY.
