Whole Food Hummus
1/4 cups brown sesame seeds
2 1/2 cups chick peas/garbanzo beans*
3 T fresh lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 t cumin powder
1/4 – 1/2 t paprika
Sea salt
Grind sesame seeds in a coffee grinder until sticky. Add to food processor work bowl along with all other ingredients. Process to creamy consistency. Add broth or water if needed to thin. Salt to taste.
*Home cooked beans make this taste so much better! To cook beans from scratch, soak dry beans in water to cover for 8 hours. Drain well, rinse, and transfer to a crock pot. Cover with water about 1 inch above top of beans. Cook on low for 7 – 8 hours.
