My Dad used to take us to the Greek Festival in Pensacola and we would have such a great time watching the people dancing and eating the yummy food. It was like a scene out of "My Big Fat Greek Wedding". It was then that I learned to love Greek food. This is an easy recipe that tastes wonderful with warm pita chips.
1-15 oz can chickpeas, rinsed
1-2 cloves garlic minced
1/4 cup olive oil, more for serving
2 TB fresh lemon juice
2 TB tahini (optional)
1 tsp ground cumin
Kosher salt to taste
1/4 tsp paprika (sprinkle on hummus before serving)
Puree chickpeas and garlic with oil, lemon juice, tahini, 3/4 tsp salt until smooth and creamy. Add 1-2 TB water as necessary to achieve the desired consistency.
Family Recipe Collection
What's This About?
Food is such a wonderful thing! Not only does it sustain us, but it enriches our lives. How many times have you tasted a dish and it takes you back to another time and place-- one filled with cherished memories? How many times have you tried to recreate those memorable dishes to find that you can't remember all the ingredients or how they are suppose to intermingle?
This is a food project for my family. My intention is to shorten the distance between us all and share in making memories together. I want us all to add tried and true recipes from past and present generations. Please feel free to add any stories or thoughts to these recipes, too.
When this project is near completion, I hope to have a marvelous collection of recipes that bring us closer together as a family. We'll have an heirloom cookbook of recipes and stories we can pass onto future generations.
