Ingredients

2glass Chickpeas(in extreme cases, it can be replaced by ordinary peas)
50gram Sesamepaste, tahini, this paste is made from sesame and sesame oil
3tablespoons Olive oil
1piece Lemon
1/3piece Garlic
1teaspoon Salt
Greensto taste
Seasoningto taste

Instructions

So let’s get started! First we need to soak 2 cups (450 g) of chickpeas overnight, but first we need to say a few words about it. Chickpeas are a legume plant resembling peas, very rich in protein, vitamins and minerals. If you care about your health and the health of your family, be sure to buy it! To prepare a classic hummus, we will need chickpeas, but, in extreme cases, it can be successfully replaced with ordinary peas or even beans. In the water in which we will soak chickpeas (or other beans), add a teaspoon of baking soda. This will significantly soften the protective skin of the beans.
After soaking, drain the water, add a new one and simmer until soft. Usually the preparation takes 1-2 hours. If foam forms, then remove it with a spoon.
At the end of cooking , drain the remaining water and add the following ingredients to the finished peas: 1. Juice of one lemon 2. A few cloves of garlic 3. A bunch of greens (preferably parsley or cilantro) 4. One teaspoon of salt (with a slide) 5. Spices as desired and in the desired amount (paprika, black pepper, chili pepper, cumin (cumin), coriander, white pepper, etc.) Mix it all thoroughly and pour it into a blender.
Now I would like to say a few words about Tahini. Tahini is a thick paste made from sesame seeds. Recently, it has been sold in many stores, but, despite this, it is not familiar to many people. You can cook it yourself by frying sesame seeds in a frying pan until a pleasant smell appears and grinding in a blender with the addition of olive oil until a homogeneous mass is obtained. If you do not have the opportunity to buy tahini or sesame seeds, then prepare this paste from walnut kernels. Of course, this is excluded in the classic recipe, but even such improvisation will not spoil the taste of the final product. The taste will not be classic, but it will still be amazing!
Add 50 g of tahini to a blender and grind thoroughly until smooth. And so, our wonderful and incredibly healthy hummus is ready!
