Recipe Title:  Fresh Home Made Hummus with Artichoke Hearts, Cilantro & Serrano Pepper

By: Miriam Borys

Ingredients:

1 can chick peas (well rinsed under cold water & drained) 540ml

1/4 cup Olive oil
1 ½ tablespoon cumin powder
1 1/2  cup artichoke hearts (marinated)
4 tbsp. Tahini
2 garlic cloves
30ml Lemon juice (fresh or bottled)
1 tablespoons serrano pepper or as much as you want - throw into the processor in whole chunks and the processor does all the work for you
½ cup fresh cilantro (washed), firmly packed or half a small bunch
¼ cup vegetable stock

cracked salt & pepper to taste

1. Drain chick peas well. Rinse with cold water in a wire mesh sieve and drain well.
2. Add all ingredients into the processor. 
3. Processes until large pieces are gone. Scrape the sides of the processor bowl down.
4. Continue to process and add vegetable stock or water and process until the hummus is at the desired consistency. This stage is up to you and your personal taste. If too thick add a tablespoon of water or  broth (vegetable or chicken) at a time until the hummus is at the right consistency.
5. Store in the fridge in a covered container until serving.
6. Great with a vegetable tray or with crackers and cheese.
