Hummus

By - Humus-101

Ingredients

[2 extra-large bowls of Hummus]

• 1 cups dried chickpeas (the smallest you can find)
• 1/2 cup tahini
• juice from 1 squeezed lemon
• 1-2 garlic cloves.
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin
• 1 tablespoon + 1/8-1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• salt
• olive oil
• parsley

Directions

[Brut: 10-20 hours. Net: 30 minutes]

• Soak chickpeas in water over night with 1 tablespoon of baking soda.
• Then, wash it, and soak again in tap water for a few more hours. The grains should absorb most of the water and almost double their volume.
• Wash the chickpeas well and put them in a large pot. Cover with water, add the rest baking soda and NO salt. Cook until the grains are very easily smashed when pressed between two fingers.
• Put the chickpeas into a food processor and grind well. Leave it to chill a little while before you continue.
• Add the tahini and the rest of the ingredients and go on with the food processor until you get the desired texture.
• If the Humus is too thick, add some of the cooking water. It should be thinner than the actual desired texture.
• Serve with some good olive oil and chopped parsley.
