I'm looking for a recipe for hummus, a spread that I've had in Greek (and pseudo-Greek :-) restaurants. It's normally served with pita bread as an appetiser. It definitely contains garlic and I've been told that the main ingredient is mashed (or pureed) chick peas. I tried mashing some cooked chick peas, adding a couple of cloves of minced garlic and thinning the result with olive oil and water to the right consistency but there is something missing. Am I even on the right track...? Doug Latornell [yes, you are. Hummus has appeared in rec.food.recipes digests 79, 94, and 95 in several different recipes. Basically you're missing tahini (sesame butter) and lemon juice. And forget the water. -aem]
