Hummus recipe: heavenly creamy pleasure

Our homemade hummus from the high-speed blender is a heavenly-creamy pleasure, this hummus recipe can also be called a culinary treasure from 1001 Nights. Even if we prepare large amounts to have some backup in stock, the oriental chickpea paste usually does not survive more than a week in the refrigerator. The attraction is simply too great. But that doesn't matter, because hummus has a lot of good things to offer - including vegetable protein, zinc, magnesium and iron, as well as plenty of fiber. Our favorite way to eat it is as a dip with a variation of vegetable sticks. This way you can enjoy hummus at work - just put it in a jar and take it with you.

Ingredients

• 250 g chickpeas
• 1 pinch of baking soda for soaking
• 1 teaspoon sea salt for cooking
• 4 garlic cloves peeled
• ½ garlic clove fresh, peeled
• 3-4 tbsp. tahini light sesame paste
• 1 level tsp cumin ground
• 4 tbsp lemon juice fresh, for the hummus
• 3-4 tbsp. olive oil
• sea salt to taste
• 500 ml cooking water

 

Instruction

1. Soak the chickpeas in water with a pinch of baking soda for at least 12 hours. The soaking and the pinch of baking soda will significantly reduce the cooking time and make the chickpeas easier to digest.
2. Optional: You can make the chickpeas even healthier by sprouting them for at least 24 hours to three days. Sprouting increases their nutrient content and makes them even easier to digest. To do this, use a sprouting jar or a simple kitchen sieve and water them 3 times a day. We also find that sprouting the chickpeas just makes them taste even better!
3. Now boil the chickpeas together with the peeled garlic cloves (leave whole) in about 1 liter of water for about 1 hour until soft. Let the chickpeas boil on the highest setting with the pot closed, and then reduce the heat. Foam will form at the beginning; simply remove it with a skimmer.
4. The chickpeas are soft enough when they can be easily mashed with two fingers.
5. Keep a small handful of whole chickpeas as decoration.
6. Now add the softly cooked chickpeas to the blender container together with about 500 ml of cooking water, including the garlic cloves that were cooked with them. Add half a clove of fresh garlic, tahini, cumin, lemon juice and olive oil. Start the blending process on the lowest speed level and slowly increase the speed to the highest level.
7. Use the tamper to push the mixture towards the blades and blend until the hummus reaches a creamy and relatively liquid consistency - it will thicken as it cools down.
8. Season to taste: add more cooking water if necessary and season with salt and optionally a dash of toasted sesame oil. Blend again.

Tip: Keep some of the cooking water in the fridge. If you find that over time the consistency of the hummus has become too thick, simply pour the mixture back into the blender, add some cooking water, and puree to the desired consistency.
