  • 2/3 cup dried chick peas, rinsed and soaked at least 6 hours
  • 1/4 cup tahini
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • juice 1/2 lemon, plus more to taste

Directions

  1. 1
    Drain the garbanzo beans and place in a saucepan with enough water to cover the garbanzo beans by 2 inches. Bring to a boil over high heat, then lower heat and simmer until tender, about 1 hour. Remove from heat and drain, reserving the cooking liquid for later use.
  2. 2
    In a blender or food processor, add the garbanzo beans, lemon juice, tahini, olive oil, garlic, cumin, salt, and 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon cooking liquid. Blend or process on high speed until hummus is smooth and creamy. Season to taste with additional salt and lemon juice.
  3. 3
    Spread the hummus in the bottom of a shallow bowl. Next layer the cucumbers, tomatoes, olives, onion, and feta. Serve with pita wedges.
