Hummus


The way I make it, and the way the Sister liked it too. :)

Ingredients for a big batch:
  • 200 g of garbanzo beans
  • 1 tablespoon of dried vegetable seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons of sesame seeds
  • 3 cloves of garlic
  • cumin
  • salt
Steep the garbanzo beans in water for a day (24 hours!). This is important because otherwise we would have to cook it forever.
After this take the beans, put them into a pan with the dried vegetable seasoning, some salt, and at least as much water as covers it. Cover it and cook until the beans can be mashed easily.
Then sieve the beans and put away the water they were cooked in (it will be needed for the next recipe too ;D). Put the beans in some taller dish.
Toast the cumin and the sesame seeds, then add them to the beans, along with the cloves of garlic. Add two dippers of the cooking water and mash the whole thing with a hand blender. If it is too dry, add more of the cooking water.
