We pause this brief history of the “cold war” to bring you a word from our sponsor…
First cue the Judy Henske song, then open a couple of cans of garbanzo beans, drain and rinse. Reserve about a half cup and dump the rest in the food processor. Add more tahini than you are comfortable with. Chop an onion, mince some garlic, saute in olive oil with some cumin. Schloop that into the food processor too, and add the juice of a lemon. Mush it all together. Add the beans you’d reserved and chop them into the paste to improve the consistency. You can always add more olive oil. And then a little more. And if it’s not garlicky enough, you might want to chop in another clove or two before you add the last few beans. Some people hit it with a little cilantro, or basil, or garnish it with paprika and parsley, but the important part is the mixture of beans, allium, cumin, sesame paste and lemon juice. The rest is just window dressing.
