The hummus recipe I took to the picnic was inspired by Jamie Geller's Lemon Lovers Hummus recipe.
1 15-oz. can garbanzos, drained and rinsed
2 tablespoons tahini (or more if you're like me)
1 large clove garlic
juice and zest of 2 lemons
1 tablespoon ground coriander
2 teaspoons ground cumin
salt and pepper to taste
1/4- 1/3 cup water to make a smooth paste
Combine ingredients in a blender or food processor, adding the water as needed. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Check for seasoning. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Pour hummus into a shallow dish, creating a well. Drizzle on extra virgin olive oil. Sprinkle on Israeli zaatar and hot smoked paprika (use this sparingly because it is HOT).
Serve with pita, vegetables, whatever. I gave some to a coworker who used it as salad dressing.
...It's Beltaine. Use your imagination... :D
