It’s Friday, it’s Friday! Are you too doing the happy dance? Well then, let’s do the happy dance with a snack in our hands, shall we?

On the menu for today we have a very nice Hummus recipe that is a true delight. Wise words for you this weekend: live well & become unstuck in time, last goodbyes for ole Kurt Vonnegut.

Ingredients:

1-2 cloves garlic
1 can (or 1 1/2 cups) cooked chickpeas, drained
1/8 cup lemon juice
cooking liquid from beans (or water)
1 tbsp. tahini (sesame paste)
1/4 tsp. cumin
1/4 tsp. paprika
dash cayenne
a few sprigs fresh parsley
sumac (optional)
pita chips, for dipping purposes

What’s Next:

Chop the garlic in a food processor. Add the chickpeas and lemon juice and begin processing. If needed, add 1/4 cup bean cooking liquid or water, just enough so that the chickpeas become a smooth paste.

Continue processing as you add the remaining ingredients. Put into a dish, sprinkle with extra paprika (or for a more authentic taste use powdered sumac), garnish with parsley, and serve. Or, for best flavor, allow the flavors to mingle for a while before serving.

Eat well & Laugh often!
