Hummus
I'm sure some of you are thinking that, given the events of 9/11, the promotion of hummus may be inappropriate. Obviously I share your concerns, but I encourage you to open your mind. Give it a try, McCarthy.
1 can of chickpeas, drained
1 head of garlic
2 tbsp tahini
1 tbsp lemon juice
olive oil
salt
pepper
smoked paprika
Cut the top of the garlic head off, exposing the tops of the cloves. Slather said exposed clove heads in olive oil. Put the head on a baking sheet in an oven heated to 450 degrees and cook for about 20 minutes. Put chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice and a good amount of olive oil into a food processor. Squeeze the head of garlic over the food processor. In an ideal world the cloves will jump out of their papery-skin into your food processor. If they disobey, get your hands dirty and get as much of the roasted garlic into the processor as you can. Give the contents a good blend. Pour more olive oil in if things don't look quite right. Season with salt and pepper. Give it another buzz so everyone watching knows you don't play. Sprinkle a little smoked paprika on top before you serve.
