The dill is definitely going into jars with my crazy bumper crop of cucumbers... we added the melon into our weekend fruits salad, so good!
I was thinking about cucumbers and we just had that great chickpea-chicken curry, so I had some chickpeas left over. A fortuitous meander down another aisle at the grocery store brought me face-to-face with a jar of sesame tahini. And it all came together, hummus!
Mom had this great homemade hummus recipe, not sure where she picked it up...
Hummus in a Jar
2 cups drained well-cooked or canned chickpeas, without liquid
1/2 cup tahini (sesame paste), optional, with some of its oil
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus oil for drizzling
1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup water
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon paprika
Juice of 1 lemon, plus more as needed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
...so, "in a jar" ... I know you're wondering, whazzup with that?
Mix everything together, reserve the water to add if things get super sticky. And go get your immersion blender!
Blend til smooth, adding water as necessary.
You can add garlic to this, super yummy! If you're going garlicky, avoid the orange juice, they don't mix well.
You can also use the chickpea "juice". just dump the whole can in, liquid and all.
Dip away!
