The best part is, hummus is extremely easy to prepare and doesn’t require any special, hard-to-find ingredients. It’ll only take you a few minutes to make this creamy delight. It takes only 10-15 min to make Hummus.
Ingredient:
Chickpeas (soaked & boiled) – 2 cups
Extra-virgin olive oil – 3 tablespoons
Tahini (sesame seed paste) – 3 tablespoons
Lemon juice – 2 tablespoons
Garlic (chopped) – 1 small clove
Salt – 1 teaspoon
Ground black pepper – ½ teaspoon
Processing
Start combining the ingredients in a blender. Add 3 tablespoons of sesame seed paste. Put in 3 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil. Also, add 1 teaspoon of salt. You can also use canned chickpeas for this recipe. It is a more convenient and easy way to go about it.
However, if you really want that authentic hummus flavor, soak chickpeas in water overnight. Change the water once or twice. Add more water, if needed. Cook them on medium heat untill soft. This way, you’ll also be able to retain the nutritional value of this healthy legume and avoid those unhealthy preservatives that are there in canned varieties.
