Gaby's Bakery - Homemade Hummus

 

At its heart, hummus is a creamy purée of chickpeas, tahini (sesame paste), lemon juice, garlic and usually olive oil, seasoned with salt and sometimes cumin. Its name comes from the Arabic word for chickpeas; ḥummuṣ bi-taḥīna essentially means “chickpeas with tahini.”

 

Homemade Hummus

Ingredients:
400g drained chickpeas
60g tahini
50g lemon juice
30ml olive oil
30g pine nuts (leave some to garnish)
3 ice cubes
1 garlic clove
½ tsp sea salt

Optional:
Ground cumin
Paprika
Parsley or basil
Lemon zest

Method:
In a food processor blitz the tahini, lemon juice, garlic & salt until creamy. Add the olive oil and blitz again. Rinse the chickpeas and then add them. Toast the pine nuts, leave a few to garnish, add the rest to the food processor. Blitz until completely smooth, add the ice cubes and blend until you have a light fluffy consistency.

Place in a serving bowl, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with paprika or ground cumin, chop a little parsley or basil to garnish.

Enjoy!
