food is an important part of everyone’s culture and we thought it would be fun to make a food that<br />
the children at the <strong>Friends</strong>’ School enjoyed: hummus.<br />
Making Hummus<br />
Palestinian cuisine shares many dishes in common<br />
with other countries in the region, hummus<br />
is one of them. In Palestine, hummus is a popular<br />
appetizer, or meze and is served with grilled<br />
or toasted pita bread cut into wedges. 4 to 6<br />
servings<br />
Ingredients<br />
Chickpeas, cooked and drained — 2 cups<br />
Tahini (sesame paste) — ¼ to ½ cup<br />
Lemon juice — ¼ cup<br />
Garlic, crushed — 2-4 cloves<br />
Salt — ½ teaspoon<br />
Water — as needed<br />
Olive oil — ¼ cup<br />
Parsley minced — 1-2 tablespoons<br />
Method<br />
Place the chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice,<br />
garlic and salt into a food processor or<br />
blender and process until very smooth. Add<br />
water as needed to achieve a soft, spreadable<br />
consistency. Adjust seasoning with<br />
lemon juice and salt to taste.<br />
Mound the hummus in a serving bowl<br />
and drizzle the olive oil over the top.<br />
Sprinkle with parsley and serve.<br />
