This is a very basic recipe for the popular garbanzo and sesame seed pate. Vary the flavor by adding a few mint leaves, a little fresh ginger, or red pepper flakes. I make it in a food processor now, but I used to make it by putting the garbanzo beans through a ricer.
Ingredients
- 2 cans garbanzo beans , 15 ounce
- 0.5 cups roasted tahini
- 0.25 cups lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest , minced
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.25 cups packed flat leaf parsley
- 0.25 cups chopped green onions
- salt to taste
- ground black pepper to taste
Instructions

Place garbanzo beans, tahini, lemon juice, lemon zest, garlic, parsley, and green onion in the bowl of a food processor. Blend until smooth, adding water if the mixture is too thick. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Mel's Brown Pizza Sauce
I live about one hour from my favorite pizza joint, so I decided to make a version of Mel's brown pizza sauce recipe for the days I can't have the real thing (because, let's face it, nothing beats the real thing). After many attempts (10 full batches, to be exact) at adjusting my recipe, my taste buds came up with this. I hope you will try it and enjoy it as much as my family and I do. For the ultimate pizza experience, use Brothers pepperoni and Mozzarellissima pizza cheese.
Mom's 5-Star Lemon Meringue Pie
I received this recipe from my mom who has always been an awesome baker. It's very easy and so, so good. Once you make it, you'll be making it over and over again! Enjoy!
Oven-Baked Chicken and Vegetables in Foil
To make your evening meal go faster, prep these chicken and vegetable packets early in the day and refrigerate until it's time to pop in the oven. This cooking time will yield nicely done chicken and vegetables with a little texture. If you prefer your vegetables softer, use boneless, skinless chicken thighs, and cook about 15 minutes longer. For the summer, this recipe will also adapt to the grill—just be sure to use a grill thermostat for best results.
