Get a blender, and what are you toasting the pine nuts for? They have a delicate flavor, no need to toast, dries them up. Olive oil!
Btw, whose hoummous was not satisfactory in the other thread?
@Crackle?
@AndyRM? I forgot!
Fresh chick peas, tahini (70/30), garlic cut in slivers not chopped (lots of it!) salt
and pepper, little olive oil (use veg or sunflower oil for a lighter tasting version, but not lighter in calories), put in blender/food processor, adding more oil and lemon juice to taste (not too much lemon juice), keep adding oil until the consistency of slightly whipped cream is reached. This will require a lot of oil, akin to making mayo.
Reserve some water from draining the chick peas: if the hoummous starts getting thick too fast, before you had a chance to add enough oil and lemon to make it tasty, add some of this water.
Practice makes perfect: I learned from a Cypriot chef.
