Artisanal Hummus Recipes from the Ancient Land of the Book of Leviticus

The Original Leviticus Hummus Recipe

From the sacred text of Leviticus 9:19, 'Take two cups of chickpeas, one cup of tahini, and a pinch of divine insight.'

Ingredients:

• Chickpeas (two cups, preferably blessed)
• Tahini (one cup, straight from the river Jordan)
• Garlic (minced, but not too finely, lest the spirits of the land be offended)
• Lemon juice (freshly squeezed, but not too freshly, for that is an abomination)
• Salt ( harvested under the light of the full moon)

Instructions:

1. Mix the chickpeas with the tahini, as the prophets of old would do
2. Add the garlic, and weep, for the flavor shall be strong as the words of the law
3. Squeeze the lemon juice, but not too much, lest the flavor be overwhelmed by the citrus
4. Season with salt, as the desert sands would do to the people
5. Mix all, and serve, for the people shall rejoice!
