Ingredients (use vegan versions):

- water to consistency, filtered, Evian, Fiji, Vittel, Mt Valley
- spices to taste

Directions:
This hummus has a rich deep nutty flavor. This is achieved by
using only small organic dried beans and roasted NOT raw
tahini which has a tendency to taste bitter. For a fruity
flavor use large dry Goya garbanzo beans and do not over cook,
more water, less oil, less spice and a deseeded cucumber, and
no salt.
*note NEVER USE CANNED GARBANZO BEANS in this finely tuned
recipe they taste awful and should be avoided at all cost
Rinse beans thoroughly soak over night in filtered or bottled
mineral water.
Cook beans in large pot with water they soaked, add enough
water so you don't have to keep checking on them 4 parts water
to 1 part soaked beans cook for a long long long time 2 hours
or more cool beans.
Juice lemons, remove seeds. Peel cloves of organic garlic and
blend in food processor. Add oil, tahini, spices, salt. Remove
and divide in half. Mix in processor one half of the lemon/garlic/oil/spice
mixture with half of the beans. Then empty 1st from food processor
and make second batch. Mix both batches together in a bowl. Add
water (not bottled water that tastes like a plastic bottle NEVER
POLAND SPRING) as needed anywhere along the process.
If you don't have tahini or a interested in LOW-FAT add a
cucumber (seeds removed) or a small amount of toasted cooked
grain like oat groats or barley in place of the oil and
tahini.
