Hummus
This is your basic hummus. To change it up a bit, add a cooked
red pepper, or roasted beets or fresh herbs. This hummus is delicious
on its own, but also makes a great foundation for new flavor variations.
Makes about 2 cups
1
garlic clove, chopped
1
can (15.5 ounces) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
½
cup tahini
2
tablespoons fresh lemon juice
¾
teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
Pinch ground cumin
½
cup water (plus more if needed)
1. Put all ingredients, in the order listed, into the mixing beaker. Process on
Speed 5 until fully smooth, about 40 to 60 seconds.
2. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired. If a thinner consistency is
desired, add additional water, or olive oil for a richer tasting hummus.

Aioli/Mayonnaise
Aioli, like mayonnaise, has its roots in France, but it has been adopted
by many cuisines, most notably the Catalans of Spain. This version
makes it simple by using the same base for mayonnaise, but adding a
hefty amount of garlic to the mix. Traditionally, aioli is used as a dip for
crudités, but it can also top burgers, fish and crab cakes.
Makes about 1 cup
2
garlic cloves, peeled (if making aioli)
2
large egg yolks
2
tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1
tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
1 to 2 pinches kosher salt
1
1
/
3
cups vegetable oil
Put all ingredients (excluding the garlic, if making mayonnaise), in the
order listed, into the mixing beaker. Allow to sit for about 30 seconds to
1 minute. Insert the blending shaft so that it is sitting level on the bottom
of the cup. Select Speed 3 and blend, being sure to keep the metal
blade completely submerged. Process until the mixture begins to thicken.
Continue processing, with a gentle up-and-down motion until thick, and
oil is fully incorporated.
