Ingredients
| 1 lb | chickpeas or garbanzo beans, soaked overnight |
| 2 T | parsley, dried |
| 1 T | salt |
| 1 T | Hungarian paprika |
| 1 head | roasted garlic |
| 1/2 C | extra virgin olive oil |
| 4 | lemons, juice of |
Method
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas. In a pot, cover soaked beans with 2″ water and bring to a simmer. Hold at a simmer for 2 1/2-3 hours, or until beans are soft and fully cooked; add water as needed to ensure that they remain submerged. Remove from heat and drain chickpeas.
- In a Ziplock bag with a rolling pin, crush chickpeas to a paste. It is not necessary to completely process them down; in fact, it is nearly impossible to remove all of the lumps without a food processor. (Or for a smoother hummus, just use a food processor.)
- Mix chickpea paste with remaining seasonings.
