Ingredients

How to make it

  • Drain the chickpeas and simmer in fresh water for about an hour or until tender. Reserve the cooking water.
  • Process the chickpeas in a blender (or food processor) with the lemon juice, tahina, garlic, salt and enough of the cooking liquid to obtain a soft creamy consistency.
  • Serve on a flat plate, garnished with a dribble of olive oil, a dusting of paprika (this is usually done in the shape of a cross) and a little parsley.
  • Serve with warm pita bread for dipping.
  • Serves 4-6.

    Sounds terrific..simple, flavourful. Wondering if you've tried a jalapeno or roasted bell pepper version. We get ready made hummus called Sabra..but its very rare and hard to get.

    Yep a perfect recipe for Hummus - I actually made it at 4 times (to feed 16-24 persons) - cause I damn love this stuff and it keeps well in the fridge for a week or two in little sealed containers. :)
