Hummus Recipe

You are here: Home / Recipes / Hummus Recipe

August 27, 2012 By Rose Fine Crafts Leave a Comment

Homemade hummus tastes great like none other and I love making it. However, in our tiny Italian village, it’s impossible find its core ingredient: tahini.

However, a friend of mine found some in a little ethnic shop in downtown Rome and brought me a little jar. ((And I recently discovered that you can buy Tahini (US link) online. ( Tahini UK/Eur link)))

Of course we had to make some homemade hummus right away. Here is a delicious hummus recipe.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup of dried chickpeas
  • 1-2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons of tahini
  • 1 mashed fresh garlic, completely fine
  • juice of 1 large lemon

Hummus Recipe

You can create this delicious hummus spread or dip in just 5 easy steps:

Step 1: Prep: rinse and soak the chickpeas overnight in ample water.

Step 2: Cook chickpeas in fresh water for about 45 minutes, depending on the type and how large the chickpeas are.

Step 3:  When the chickpeas are properly cooked you can easily mash them into a paste.  In the process, add olive oil to soften the paste.

Step 4: Here’s the most important ingredient: tahini, which is made from sesame seeds. 

Mix the tahini into the mash.

Step 5: Add all the juice of one lemon.  Taste. Add tahini, olive oil or lemon to adjust the taste till it’s splendid.
