I got the urge to make this after staying with Tilly on my trip north to Forster.
How to prepare dried chickpeas:
Ingredients:2 cups cooked chickpeas, liquid reserved and set aside
1 tsp salt, or to taste
3 garlic cloves
1/3 Cup tahini
7-8 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 Tbsp reserved chickpea liquid (or water)
4-8 drops of Tabasco sauce (amazing), to taste
Olive oil, for drizzling
Paprika and parsley for garnish
Method:
- Place all ingredients into a food processor (except the salt) and process until the hummus is coarsely pureed. Now add in salt gradually, stopping to taste as you go.
Makes about 2 cups and lasts for about 4-5 days in the fridge in a sealed container.
EDIT:
Add 2 tbsp. of olive oil to the mix while processing, it gives a smoother creamier texture and it tastes better!!
I usually put more olive oil in mine, as I find the water takes some of the flavour away.
ReplyDeleteI only have a very little food processor (it only just fits 2 cans of chickpeas) so I process up the olive oil, garlic, lemon juice and tahini before adding the chickpeas. Then I don't get big lumps of garlic :)
Love the addition of Tabasco sauce :)
I eat heaps of homemade hommus. at least its healthy :) and so easy to make!!
Yeah I did end up putting olive oil in the mix too!
ReplyDeleteShould update this post and add that =)
