Hummus
Baba Ganouj
Hummus
1 can garbanzo beans, drained (I usually use garbanzos I've cooked,
but I got a really good deal on canned ones)
the juice of one medium or two small lemons
1-2 cloves garlic, to taste
salt to taste
about 2 teaspoons tahini, maybe a little more (I didn't measure -- more
or less would've been fine)
I blended it all with my immersion blender. So good with pita
triangles. I *love* hummus, but it's so expensive at the store.
This made about two cups.
Baba Ganouj
2 large Italian ("regular"😉 eggplants
juice of 1-2 lemons
1-2 garlic cloves
tahini (I think I used around 1/4 cup)
salt to taste
olive oil, divided (I think I used a tablespoon in the mixture, and
about the same amount on top)
paprika
Preheat oven to 400F. Cut the stem ends off the eggplants, [censored]
them all over with a fork, and bake them on a baking sheet for about
an hour, turning once about halfway through. When they're done, they
should be very soft. Cool them just until they're cool enough to
handle. Halve the eggplants, and scoop the soft insides into a bowl,
blender container, or food-processor container (I used my handheld
immersion blender and a bowl). Add the remaining ingredients except
for some olive oil and the paprika. Pour into a serving bowl. To
serve, drizzle some olive oil over the top and sprinkle with paprika.
