Houmous (Tahini optional)
From Sorgawiki
N.B.: This recipe doesn't require tahini, so it's great when you don't have it. However if you do have tahini by all means add it to the mix.
Ingredients
- 1 can chickpeas
- 100 ml lemon juice
- 100 ml olive oil
- 2-4 cloves garlic
- mint leaves, paprika or other for garnish
Method
- Wash the peas, put in a sink and rinse under a water flush
- Put the peas in a blender (food-processor, e.g., Magimix) with lemon juice (one glass or half a cup, unsweetened, e.g., Pulco, or two lemons) and leave to turn for a while. When it becomes “creamy”
- Add olive oil (one glass or half a cup. Better to replace ¼ of the glass with canola (rapeseed) oil, for fatty acids balance). Leave mixing until the cream is “perfect”
- While it turns, prepare garlic
- Stop the blender, crunch the garlic with a garlic-cruncher on top of humus, wait 2-3 min for garlic to “mature”, and blend again.
- Serve cold, with garnish of choice.
