Hummus is one of my fav. apart from soaking over night n boiling the chickpea it next day ... its quick easy n healthy appetizers Ingredients:
1/2 kg chickpea / garbanzo bean ( soaked overnight n boiled next day ) |
4-5 cloves of garlic |
1/2 cup of tahini ( sesame paste) |
1 cup lemon juice freshly squeezed |
a small bunch of parsely |
salt to taste |
1 tsp of chilly powder (opt.) |
olive oil |
Directions:
1. I prefer chickpea soaked overnight n boiled for 20 mins till it breaks or removes it skin... restore its water .... i wont recommend canned chickpea
2. In a blender add boiled chickpea garlic sesame paste n few leaves of parsely n grind it into a fine paste... as sesame paste or tahini has a tendency to thicken the paste add water as needed ... donot make it watery form ... we need it thick paste ... add 1/2 cup lemon juice before removing from the blender n give a quick spin one last time
3. Remove it in a serving bowl ... decorate it with genrous amount of olive oil n parsely leaves n remaining lemon juice
4. Can be served with arabic bread or pita....
5. Enjoy !!!
6. Tip : U can add chilly powder if u like spicy , add it during blending process .... u can even omit garlic if u dont like it
7. Chickpea contains helpful source of zinc , proteins , calcium , iron many other minerals
