Ingredients

It is easy to make, requires few ingredients, and is very tasty.

Chickpea – The main ingredient in this dish is chickpeas, and it has a healthy Earthy, and subtle taste. To make this recipe, I soak my chickpeas and boil them, although you can also use canned chickpeas.

Just clean them thoroughly before using them.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil – Make this dip with the best quality olive oil; it gives a very peculiar taste to this dish.

Tahini – Tahini is made of olive oil mixed with salt and a few tablespoons of olive or coconut oil. It has a very peculiar flavor.

Besides this, you will also need roasted cumin powder, paprika, lemon juice, garlic, and salt.

How to make Chickpea Hummus step by step with photo :

 1. Mix the tahini sauce with lemon juice to make it creamy. Blend it until it forms a paste, then scrape off the sides and bottom, then blend for another 30 seconds, or until it is creamy and smooth. 

2. Add the minced garlic, salt, olive oil, and blend for 30 seconds, scraping the sides and bottom as you go, and process for another 30 seconds, making sure everything is well-blended.

3. Wash and rinse chickpeas. If you want to peel off the skin from chickpea you can do that to get more creamy hummus. But it’s optional. Add half of them to a food processor or blender and process for 1 minute. Scrape sides and bottom of the bowl, then add remaining chickpeas and process until very thick and smooth. 

4. If your hummus is too thick or has chickpea bits in it, add 2 to 3 tablespoons of water to thin it out.

5. Taste the hummus and adjust salt as necessary and transfer into a serving bowl. 

6. Serve hummus with olive oil and paprika.

Important Suggestion To Keep In Mind

• If you over boil your chickpeas, the hummus will be creamy and smooth.
• Adding baking soda to boiled chickpeas makes them soft and tender.
• Make the chickpeas into a smooth dip by grinding using ice-cold water. It will prevent the chickpeas from darkening from the heat of the blender.
• Make this recipe with good olive oil.
• The chickpeas also soften and burst better with baking soda.

Storage Suggestion

It is also fine to freeze. Transfer it to a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 4 months.

Defrost it overnight and serve. You can store it in the refrigerator for up to a week in an airtight container, so be sure to close the container tightly after each use.
