Ingredients
- 3/4 cup chickpeas/garbanzo beans, raw
- 2 lemons squeezed for juice
- 3 garlic cloves roughly chopped
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2/3 cup tahini
- 1/8 tsp salt, table
- 1/8 tsp spice, pepper, black, ground
Recipe Method
1. Place chickpeas in a bowl, cover with plenty of water and leave to soak overnight. Drain and put in a saucepan with plenty of fresh water. Bring to a boil and continue boiling for 10 minutes. Reduce heat and simmer for 45 to 60 minutes until the chickpeas are completely tender. Drain well.
2. Tip the chickpeas into a food processor and process to a paste. Add the lemon juice, garlic, oil, tahini and seasoning. Blend until very smooth, scraping from the sides of the bowl when necessary. The more blending the creamier the hummus.
3. Transfer to a serving bowl, cover and chill until ready to serve. Drizzle with extra olive oil, if desired.
