Hummus Recipe
Hummus is a unique yet protein-rich dip with a smooth, creamy, and nutty taste. You can spread it on Pita bread, sandwiches, and wraps or use it as a dressing for Asian salads.
Ingredients
- 100 g sesame seeds
- 200 g chickpeas
- 2 lemon juice
- ½ tsp garlic paste
- Salt (for taste)
- 3 - 4 tsp vegetable oil
- 2 tsp Olive oil (for garnishing)
Instructions
- Prepare The Tahini: Gently roast the sesame seeds in any non-stick pan. It would take around 2 to 3 minutes.
- Grind The Roasted Sesame Seeds: Now grind the sesame seeds in the food processor. Also, add 3 tablespoons of vegetable or any cooking oil for creaminess. I understand that making Tahini from roasted sesame seeds is time-consuming. It typically takes around 8 to 10 minutes, and I usually switch the juicer on and off about 12 to 13 times during this process.
- Add All Ingredients: Add boiled chickpeas, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic paste in the juicer and grind all the stuff. Add ice cubes of 1/2 cup of ice water for a creamy and fluffy texture. My juicer gives me the fluffy dip after 8 rounds, and I've added 1/3 cup of water between these rounds to get the subtle consistency.
- Finally, the Hummus is now ready. Drizzle some olive oil and put chickpeas over the final dish to make it more appealing.
