My friend Paul made a delicious fresh basil hummus and this is my attempt to recreate it. I think it turned out pretty well.
1 can garbanzo beans (strained and rinsed off with fresh water) 1 Tbs cumin
3 big garlic cloves
several large leafy stems of fresh basil
1/8 cup water
juice of 1 large lemon
juice of 1 large lemon
1/8 cup olive oil (plus another 1/8th cup in reserve)
freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
Place all but pepper into a food processor and mix well. Add more olive oil (up to one more 1/8th cup) to smooth out the texture. Grind in black pepper to taste. If the taste of basil is not strong enough for you, add more fresh basil. The dish should have a greenish color.
