The food processor didn't work for the tahini (the seeds at the bottom wouldn't blend). The blender doesn't work for the final hummus (too thick, too hard on the motor). Soak chick peas overnight Cook chickpeas Add sesame seeds, first bit of oil, and salt to blender. Blend to make tahini. Probably have to add a couple tbsp of water to make it blend (not be too thick for the blender). Add lemon juice to blender. Blend. Add rest of oil, garlic, and cumin to blender. Blend. Transfer to food processor (not blender). Add chick peas. Process well. If it's too dry, add a few tbsp of water. If you make too much, you can freeze some. It goes bad after a few weeks in the fridge. Note: a recipe from mom's cookbook said one way to improve the taste is to pop the skins off the chickpeas after you cook them. I haven't tried this.
