I love this, with almost everything. You can eat it alone, dip meats or bread in it..whatever you want to do with it, you can. Add to the recipe flavors that you want whether it be to spice it up or give it a spin. The more tahini sauce, for me, the better. I love it. Here is a simple recipe to do it yourself , the canned hummus, or the hummus pre-made is just not as good.
1 clove garlic
1 (19 ounce) can garbanzo beans, half the liquid reserved
4 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons tahini
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
zataar and sumac, if you like, for garnish
In a blender, chop the garlic. Pour garbanzo beans into blender, reserving about a tablespoon for garnish. Place lemon juice, tahini, chopped garlic and salt in blender. Blend until creamy and well mixed.
Transfer the mixture to a medium serving bowl. Sprinkle with zataar, sumac and pour olive oil over the top. Garnish with reserved garbanzo beans.
Serve it with anything!! Warm flat bread is the best.
