Hummus
What do you need:
- 19 onces chickpeas
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup Tahini
- 5 tbsp lemon juice
- 3 garlic cloves
- 2 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp salt
- pepper
- 6-10 tbsp ice water
First, heat the chickpeas in warm water, just below boil temperature. Add the 1/2 tsp baking soda. Let this boil for at least 30 minutes. It may cause foam on top of the water. Skin it off with a spoon. While this cooks, prepare the ice water.
When the chickpeas are soft, test it by gently push one without any pressure. When this is easy to do, the chickpeas are ready. Peel the loose skins. This results in a better texture.
Add the chickpeas to a food processor. Mix them around 2 minutes till the result is a nice texture. Sometimes pause the food processor and push down some parts of the chickpeas with a spatula. Continue mixing.
Stop mixing and add 1 cup of Tahini. This will bring everything together and will add a better structure to your hummus. After adding the Tahini, start mixing on low speed.
While mixing add 5 tbsp of lemon juice, 3 chopped garlic cloves, 2 tsp cumin, 1 tsp salt and pepper. Let this mix for a minute and add the ice water bit by bit.
When the texture is smooth, the hummus is ready.
Enjoy
