My home made hummus

Ingredients I haven't measured any of the ingredients - I just throw them in - this is a rough estimate - use common sense! 460g drained weight of pre-cooked chick peas* 3-5 table spoons tahini (sesame seed paste) 1-3 tea spoons ground cumin 1-3 tea spoons ground coriander seeds 3-6 cloves of garlic 2-4 table spoons lemon juice ½-1 dl basic vegetable oil, typically canola ½-1 dl olive oil salt - I rarely add any because the chick peas already contain it How to Mix canola oil with cumin, coriander and chopped garlic cloves, cook it for around 1-2 minutes in the microewave oven - use a lid! Some people will add these ingredients raw. Although I like garlic in any form, I prefer cooked garlic over raw. I believe that the cumin and coriander flavours become stronger when cooked in oil. Thow ingredients in food processor and blend it for several minutes. Done! * One Eldorado pack (Norway) contains 380g with water and 230g drained weight and contains 0.9%
