Home made Hummus

1. Wash and soak chickpeas in water overnight, then boil them until tender with a little salt (you will need very little time in a pressure cooker). Drain them. 
2. Add the flavor of the hummus: (i) cilantro, (ii) roasted red pepper cut into chunks, (iii) pureed sun-dried tomatoes, or (iv) garlic; stir in lemon juice and salt to taste. 
3. Pour the chickpeas into a food processor. 
4. You may add  tahini in 1:4 ratio with the chickpeas, and olive oil.

Serve with pita, use in sandwiches or as a dip for celery and carrots.
