Hommus is a staple in the Armenian household. Frequently, the kitchen table will hold a large bowl of hommus and a platter of pita bread that provides a satisfying meal. Also works well as a dip for fresh vegetables.</p> <p>Variations: Replace the parsley with fresh chopped dill, or add 1 cup of yogurt.</p> <p>Some people don't like hommus with salt or pepper but it adds to the flavor of the dish. You can garnish the dish with a drizzle of olive oil. Keeps for about 2 weeks refrigerated in a covered bowl. </i></p> </TD> </TR> </table> <!-- Recipe Atributes. --> <table border="0"> <TR> <TD Width=320> Preparation: 20 minutes </TD> <TD width=320> <i><b> Heirloom Recipe </i></b> </TD> </TR> <TR> <TD Width=320> Makes 3 -4 cups</TD> <TD width=320> Meds Mama Sarkisian/Pattie Knapp </TD> </TR> </table> <!-- Ingredients Section. --> <table border="0"> <TR> <TD Width=320> <B>Ingredients:</B> </TD> <TD> </TD> </TR> <TR> <TD Width=320> <UL> <LI> 2 16-ounce cans garbanzo beans <LI> 1/2 cup tahini <LI>Juice of 1 large lemon </UL> </TD> <TD Width=320> <UL> <LI> 2 large cloves garlic <LI>2 tablespoons olive oil <LI>2 tablespoons chopped parsley </UL> </TD> </TR> </table> <!-- Procedure Section. ° é é --> <table border="0"> <TR> <TD Width=640> <b>Procedure</b> <OL> <LI> Drain 1 can of the garbanzo beans.Place in food processor. <LI> Add second can of garbanzo beans with the packing juice. <LI> Add all remaining ingredients.
