2 cups dry chickpeas (to be rinsed and drained before use) soaked in water and 1/2 tsp. bicarbonate of soda overnight |
3 cloves of garlic crushed |
1/2 cup tahini ( sesame seeds paste ) |
1/4 cup lemon juice |
salt & pepper |
Directions:
1. For the ultimate hummus dish, follow these simple instructions:
2. Drain the chick peas and rinse well, then put in a saucepan with plenty of water and cook over high heat till it starts boiling, then lower the heat and simmer covered for about one and a half hours, or until the chick peas are soft to the touch, alternatively, use tinned chick peas ( 2 tins of 445g each ). Drain the cooked chickpeas and put in a food processor with all other ingredients till they become a soft paste. Empty in a flat dish and decorate with some parsley leafs and drizzle with good quality olive oil. Serve with warm pitta bread.
3. The mixed spices used here are the traditional '7 spices' you can buy off the shelf.
