*HUMMUS TAHINI* Homemade Lebanese hummus is super easy to make, tasty, healthy and requires just a few simple ingredients. The unique flavor of hummus comes from tahini, a sesame seed paste. You can usually find it in the ethnic section of your supermarket. INGREDIENTS: 100 grams (3.5 ounces) dried chickpeas 1 teaspoon baking soda 1½ tablespoon tahini the juice of half lemon 1½ tablespoon extra virgin olive oil + 1 tablespoon to drizzle on top (optional) ½ clove garlic crashed ½ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon cumin 1 tablespoon cooking water tablespoon To garnish (optional) : paprika and/or whole chickpeas, 1 extra virgin olive oil INSTRUCTIONS: - Soak the chickpeas overnight in cold water and 1 teaspoon of baking soda. Baking soda helps softening them quicker. - The next day, rinse with fresh water, bring it to a boil on high heat, then let it simmer on low heat until soft (more or less 1 hour). - As soon as the water starts boiling a white foam will appear on top, try to scrape out as much of it as possible. - To check if the chickpeas are cooked, crush a chickpea with your fingers. If it crushes easily and feels smooth then it’s done. - Drain the chickpeas but reserve some of the water as you might need it. - Put the chickpeas in the bowl of a food processor and blend for 1 minute. - Add the tahini, extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice and keep mixing until it becomes creamy. Stop to scrape down the sides once or twice. - Add the garlic, salt and cumin and blend for 3-4 minutes until thoroughly mixed and smooth. - If it’s too thick add 1 tablespoon of the chickpea cooking water until the consistency is perfect. - Taste and adjust the seasonings, adding more salt or lemon if needed - Place in a shallow bowl, drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil, garnish with a few chickpeas and sprinkle with paprika. BON 😋 APPÉTIT.
