How do you make hamous?

Answer 1

I believe you're referring to "hummus," which also has several other spellings. Hummus is a Middle Eastern dish consisting of chickpeas (garbanzo beans) that have been cooked, blended with olive oil and garlic, and mashed to make a smooth consistency.

To make hummus at home, the easiest way is to purchase a can of garbanzo beans. Drain it and pour the beans into a food processor. Add two peeled garlic cloves. Puree the beans and cloves while drizzling olive oil into the well. Be frugal with the oil; depending on the moisture of the beans, you may not need a lot.

When it's a "dipping" consistency, use a spatula to scoop it into a bowl. Drizzle a little more olive oil on top and serve with triangles of toasted pita bread.
