Knowing that chick peas (garbanzo beans or chumusim) can be hard to digest and cause anal music, I decided to let it sprout for a half day after soaking them by draining, rinsing and draining the beans again, then letting them sit for a few hours. This also unlocks more of their already highly nutritious nature.

The traditional way to make humus in Jerusalem is to mash the beans when they're well cooked. I used a piece of palm branch. It makes humus you can chew. If you prefer smooth, put in food processor with some olive oil.

cook beans in water with some salt until tender - remove any white froth from top to reduce the volume of digestional music
You're going to use the water they cook in for flavor.
when beans are tender and water is starting to get low add
--a chopped onion

in the last minute of cooking add
--cumin and remove from heat.

Add:

--a rinsed, quartered lemon (with the peel-you crush the peel to get the oils out for more lemon flavor)

crush it up to your liking

--add sesame tehina to taste
if you want more salt, consider using the brine from olive marinade

grub!
