How to Make Humus

One of the ancient appetizers in the Middle East is Humus. This appetizer has been eaten since 5000 years ago. At the beginning, it was a dish that only the royal family could afford, because the recipe was known to only a few rich people in Jerusalem. 2000 years ago, the emperor of Rome, Julius César, went to conquer Jerusalem in an excuse of a holy war, but the real reason for this crusade was to capture the chef who held the secret recipe and release it to the world. Today I will share with you the way Humus needs to be made, but I promise you will not need to conquer Jerusalem to enjoy this wonderful dish.
First, you will need to make sure you have all the ingredients, because timing is crucial. At the moment you will start making the Humus, you shouldn’t stop or delay in any step, or the soul of Julius Cesar will haunt you. You will need to have a can of Garbanzo beans, garlic, lemon, salt, Tahini sauce and virgin olive oil.
Some of the ingredients you can find in any grocery store, but the Tahini Sauce and the Virgin olive oil have to come from a special and secret place, in order to make sure they will be blessed by a religious person who had fasted for two days before preparing them. In Austin, you can find them north to the capitol in a small spice store. You will recognize the old seller by his 6 fingers in his right hand. If you will not buy it from him, the combination can produce a deadly dish that will kill you after 12 hours.
Finally, you need to put the Garbanzo beans in pot with water for a night. This will extract all the demons from them and will make them soft and safe. Put all the ingredients to the mixer. Mix it for 7 minutes and then put it in the refrigerator for 23 minutes.
Now, when it is ready, you can enjoy the best food the Middle East has to offer.
Of course you can’t tell anyone that you got the recipe from me. Preparing this dish is at your own risk; I will deny any connection to this recipe if something happens.

Bon appetite
