This hummus made me never ever want the storebought again, Yum! dried chickpeas taste so much richer and better in this, but can also use canned chickpea's, make sure to rinse them very well though, to get rid of that tiny taste.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups dried chickpeas, soaked overnight shopping list
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided shopping list
- 3 garlic cloves, peeled shopping list
- 3/4 cup sesame seed paste shopping list
- 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice,maybe more to taste shopping list
- cayenne or hot paprika shopping list
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley shopping list
- 2 teaspoons olive oil shopping list
How to make it
- 1. Rinse the soaked chickpeas well and drain them before putting them in a saucepan and covering them with plenty of fresh water. Bring to a boil; skim, add one-half teaspoon salt, cover and cook over medium heat, about 1 1/2 hours, until the chickpeas are very soft (you might need to add more water).
- 2. Meanwhile, crush the garlic and one-half teaspoon salt in a mortar until pureed. Transfer the puree to the work bowl of a food processor, add the sesame seed paste and lemon juice and process until white and contracted. Add one-half cup water and process until completely smooth
- 3. Drain the chickpeas, reserving their cooking liquid. Add the chickpeas to the sesame paste mixture and process until well-blended. For a smoother texture, press the mixture through the fine blade of a food mill. Thin to desired consistency with reserved chickpea liquid. Adjust the seasoning with salt and lemon juice. The hummus can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.) Serve, sprinkled with paprika and parsley and drizzled with oil.
