Majestik Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Ingredients -1 15oz can Chick peas (garbanzo beans) -3 to 6 Tb tahini (ground sesame paste) [i use 5] -3 to 6 cloves garlic [i use 4] -Juice from 1 lemon (about 2 or 3 Tb) -2 Tb olive oil -salt to taste [i use about 1/2 tsp] -pepper/chili powder to taste [i use about 1 tsp each] Preparation Instructions Drain chick peas leaving about 25% of the liquid. Throw into food processor or blender. Add all other ingredients and blend until a "bean dip" texture is achieved. Serve with Pita Bread (which has been warmed in your Komodo Kamado, and cut into wedges) Some folks blend in other ingredients: green onions, parsley, chile peppers, sun dried tomatoes, or whatever. This is simple and fantastic and tastes better than any hummous you can buy at the store (or is it Hummus? I've seen it both ways...).

Curly Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Dude, what the heck is hummous? This is a BBQ forum, now get with the program (OK, I'm gonna delete this in a little while cause DrunkZ will be all over me for posting in the recipes section) Actually, I can't delete it, I think he took that priviledge away from me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Majestik Posted December 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Hehehe. Yes, don't anger the Drunk_Z... But do take note: this is the "Sides" topic... and I did imply that Pita is to be warmed on a KK... so cut me some slack, eh? Besides, when I finally get a KK and rotisserie, and post my Gyros recipe... this will become a vital side dish. Incidentally, I think Drunk_Z will now allow recipe commentary, as long as the original post is in the specified format... so we're all good. I think.

Greg_R Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Another thing you might try is lightly roasting sesame seeds on the grill and then pureeing them to make your own tahini. Take a flat pan, lightly coat the seeds with olive oil and cook at ~300 degrees for 10 minutes. Keep an eye on them and stir... the seeds can burn.

LeadDog Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 I think this would be great for Pita Bread that is made in the KK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
