To make hummus (not humus as our college cafeteria wrote it back in the day) you start with a can of garbanzo beans.
Drain them. I made the mistake once of not draining them & the result was far too liquid.
Add tahini, olive oil, & whatever you please. In this case, I added roasted garlic, paprika, & a bit of spaghetti sauce.
Then blend them in a blender or food processor.
That's all there is to it! Serve with pitas, vegetables, or both.
To roast garlic take off the loose flaky bits on the outside of a head of garlic. Then chop off just the tips of the cloves. Spread some oil on them. Then wrap in foil and bake at 400 degrees until soft (about thirty minutes). Squeeze out to use or eat.
In this case, I also served the hummus & pitas with the "Roasted Winter Vegetables"...
Favorite Song (on my favorite radio station during prep time): Bothy Band- The Maid of Coolmore
