Levantine Hummus
Some things are good when kept basic. It’s nice to master the simplest form of a recipe, then treat is as a canvas and build on it. This is the simplest hummus, absolutely no fuss & finger-licking good. It is gluten-free and vegetarian, and is good source of protein and fibre.
INGREDIENTS: Serves 4
2 cups cooked chickpeas, room temperature
3 cloves garlic
1 tbsp tahini
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp Himalayan rock salt
1 tsp roasted cumin powder
½ tsp smoked paprika
Juice of 1 lime
A little aqua faba (chickpea water), if required
#BorosilTip: Serve with carrot, cucumber, celery or bell pepper sticks for a healthy snack! Prepare in a large quantity and store it in borosilicate glass storage containers.
METHOD:
Place half the chickpeas, as well as garlic, in the Nutrifresh bullet jar. Pulse until chickpeas are ground, scraping with a spatula as needed. Add the remaining ingredients except aqua faba/chickpea water, using only if required.
Process until smooth.
Taste and adjust seasoning.
Transfer to a bowl, pour over extra virgin olive oil, scatter some pomegranate pearls and garnish with a sprig of fresh parsley.
