Peggy's Hummus

We've been in Hamilton twice in the past month, being entertained for a night each way before and after flights out of Toronto, and the culinary highlight of our time there was this hummus recipe, which is adapted from Anne Lindsay.

Combine:
1/4 cup tahini
1/2 tsp cumin or more to taste
1/2 tsp salt
2 large cloves garlic, minced
2 scant tbsp lemon juice
3 tbsp hot water

Puree the above mixture with:
1 19oz can chick peas
fresh parsley

Eat with carrots or crackers (rice crackers are good)

I'd recommend a full 3/4 tsp. cumin, and add about 2 tbsp. good olive oil too for a creamier hummus. Delicious!
