Lemon Sesame And Garlic Hummus Recipe

Ingredients

1 to 3 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed 

2 tablespoons olive oil 

2 tablespoons white sesame seeds, toasted 

2 tablespoons tahini 

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 tablespoon orange peel, minced 

Salt and white pepper, to taste 

1 1/2 tablespoons lemon peel, minced 

Preparation

In a blender or food processor, combine garlic, olive oil, sesame seeds, tahini, lemon juice, and garbanzo beans (reserve about a tablespoon of beans for garnish). Blend, adding reserved garbanzo-bean liquid if needed until hummus reaches desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
