Humm...us.... that was satisfying!

I made hand-mashed hummus, and it was rather satisfactory.

Not sure what I did with the photos, but it was good.  Here's a less flattering photo of my attempt at a friend's house:
Not quite done with the mashing, you can use a heavy
spoon or ladle instead of a potato masher if that suits you.


If you mash it, use less olive oil, and leave some coarseness from the beans so that it's less smooth it becomes a good, hearty paste.

Hummus:

1 can of garbanzo beans (chickpeas)
1/4 - 1/2 cup of olive oil
lemon
cayenne pepper
caribbean jerk seasoning
drops/drizzle of liquid mesquite smoke

If you're really wild, you can add a drizzle of maple syrup as well!
