      This is much better than Zea's hummus! Best recipe that I have used. Fry up some flour tortillas for dipping. Cut into quarters, fry for about 1 1/2 minuets, better that bagged chips.

      Mediterranean Hummus Appetizer, Inspired by Zea’s Hummus Appetizer Platter Refrigerate time not included (So good I strongly suggest doubling the hummus recipe since you’ll already have on hand the toppings ) Note: I made a remarkable discovery Adding lemon zest makes for extraordinary so I added it as an optional ingredient Update: Substituting about half of the olive oil with chickpea juice makes for a fluffier hummus Note: Since originally posting this recipe, I’ve come to realize that boiling your chickpeas for about 5 minutes makes for a better end product Make sure you reserve the juice should you want a thinner hummus Should you cook your own chickpeas from dried, use 1 1/2 cups drained chickpeas to equal the amount in a 15 ounce can , This is much better than Zea’s hummus! Best recipe that I have used Fry up some flour tortillas for dipping Cut into quarters, fry for about 1 1/2 minuets, better that bagged chips , AMAZING!!!! Licked the bowl clean!
