  • About

We love hummus at Claire’s. It’s great for dipping or in a sandwich. This version has cayenne pepper and Tabasco to give it a little more zip than our hummus sandwich filling. Either way, it’s cholesterol-free and delicious.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound dried chickpeas
  • 1 cup tahini (sesame paste, found in health food stores)

Method

  1. Soak the chickpeas overnight in a large pot with 10 cups of water. Add fresh water to cover by 2 inches, then boil for about an hour or until soft, adding water as necessary. Drain.
