Step by Step Method
Step 1
Heat a heavy (like cast iron) or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Toss the sesame seeds into the heated pan and cook and stir for a couple minutes, until lightly browned. (Don't get them too dark, or they will taste burnt.) Remove from heat and allow to cool.
Step 2
In a food processor (or blender) blend the toasted sesame seeds with the garlic and 1 tablespoon or so of the oil until smooth. (This might take a few minutes). Add more of the oil and some of the cooked garbanzo beans and blend until smooth (If you have a big food processor you may be able to blend everything at once (in that case add the rest of the ingredients and blend until smooth). If you have a smaller food processor, blend the beans in 2 batches, saving some of the oil for the second batch, and stirring every minute or two as needed. Then stir everything together in a bowl.
Step 3
Add more salt if needed and if you like, some black pepper. Store hummus in an airtight container in the fridge. Serve with pita chips, corn chips, or veggie sticks or anything you like.
