Homemade Hummus


Recipe from Pick-Up-Limes

Makes 2 small jam jars

Ingredients for making hummus:

1. 2 cups of cooked chickpeas (equivalent to 3/4 cup (135 g) uncooked dried chickpeas)
2. 1/4 cup water
3. Juice of 1 lemon
4. 3 TBS (30 ml) tahini (I like to make this myself)
5. 1 TBS (15 ml) olive oil
6. 2 cloves garlic
7. Pinch of salt

For cooking chickpeas:
1. 1 litre of water for every 100 g of dried chickpeas

Directions:

1. Soak chickpeas overnight for 10-12 hours. Rinse and discard water.

2. In a pot, add chick peas and water and bring to boil. Simmer under medium low heat (no. 4 or 4,5 on my stove) for 2 hours until chickpeas are cooked and soft (you are able to mash it with a fork).

3. Discard water and let cool.

4. In a food processor or high-powered blender, add all the ingredients and blend until creamy. I use my Magimix high-powered blender. I start with using the dessert setting, and use the tamper to scrap off the side. When the dessert program is done, I give it another cycle using the speed dial. I start with Speed 1, and gradually move to Speed 2 and Speed 3 and blend for another 45 seconds.

Storage:

Hummus can be kept for 5 days in an air-tight container.

Additional information:

I really like the recipes from Pick up Limes. I tried out this hummus recipe, and it's perfect.
