    Recipe: Hummus

    Recipe: Hummus

    Recipe: Hummus

    If you make peanut butter at home, then making hummus (chickpea paste) should be a piece of cake for you. I have tried other types of beans such as lentils, but I have always come back to chickpeas. Most often I use hummus in place of meat to add nutty and fatty flavor to go with a dish. Dishes I have tried hummus with include tacos, nachos, quesadilla, sandwich and what not. Of course it goes very well with fresh vegetable sticks. I often overeat celery with hummus because they are so good! This recipe uses a food processor, but it can be made without it: Simply transfer boiled chickpeas into a bowl and mash, and mix with other ingredients. It will take more time but you will be able to feel bits of chickpeas in the paste.

    Tips: (1) For the best result, I recommend using freshly boiled chick peas. (2) Adjust the amount of salt and lemon juice to your liking.

    Yield: About 1 cup

    Ingredients

    • 130g chick peas
    • 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
    • 1 teaspoon toasted white sesame seeds
    • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
    • ½ teaspoon garlic, grated
    • ¼ teaspoon paprika

    Cooking instructions

    1. If using dried chickpeas, soak overnight and then boil until soft. For fresh chickpeas, boil until soft.
    2. Combine all the ingredients except paprika in a food processor and process until the mixture is smooth in texture.
    3. Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with paprika. You can optionally garnish with some olives, olive oil and a sprig of coriander.
    4. Enjoy with fresh vegetables or as dipping for chips!
