HUMMUS

HUMMUS

*****************************************************************

Ingredients:

• 1 can/jar of chickpeas or leave dry chickpeas in water for 12h, then boil them until tender with a bit of salt.
• extra virgin olive oil
• the juice of half medium size lemon
• 1/2 or 1 clove of garlic 
• tahini (sesam seed cream)
• water
• salt, pepper, cumin powder

Preparation:

Mix all the ingredients together and blend them with a stick blender. Add water until creamy. 

N.B. In this simple recipe it is fundamental the flavours of the lemon, the tahini and the spices.

N.B. I like to add sometime roasted garlic or/and roasted and crushed almonds or hazelnut.
