We all love hummus. Especially when it can be compared to Effendy's. YES PLEASE. This recipe can be created using a blender or not (we have done both). It is smoother and creamier if it's blended, but it tastes equally delicious either way :)
Ingredients:
- 2 cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, or more as needed
- 1/2 lemon juiced
- 2 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh parsley
- 2 cloves garlic (chopped finely if not using a blender)
- 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 to 1 teaspoon cumin
- Pepper (add desired amount)
- 1/4 cup water
Directions:
Combine all ingredients in a blender (or a bowl) and blend (or mash) until it has reached a smooth consistency.
It's pretty easy. And pretty delicious.
Yes please!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to try it out. This one is a high priority. I am also curious to see what happens if I add a little sim sim paste to the mix. I hear from wendy the wise that sim sim and tahini are similar.
Yum! This is amazing! We made it and we boiled the chickpeas for awhile, adding a little bit of baking soda to the water. This softened them so that we could smash them easily without a blender!
ReplyDeleteAlso, you can get tahini at the middle eastern shop on the ground floor of Garden City!
