In my last post I promised you that I would share with you the original, authentic hommus recipe. I made it as a snack the other day and it tasted fabulous (and much better than store-bought hommus in my opinion).
And of course, you know I wouldn't be posting this recipe if it wasn't easy...
Ingredients:
2 cups hommus (soaked overnight if you are using dry hommos as I did rather than canned)
2 to 3 tablespoons tehini (depends on your personal taste - start with 2 and add on from there)
The juice from 2 lemons
1/4 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
Add all the ingredients together in a blender. Blend until the consistency is smooth (add more olive oil if necessary).
Garnish with parsley and lemon peel. Drizzle with quality extra virgin olive oil.
Serve with pita bread.
Serves 4
Enjoy :)

ReplyDeleteThanks everyone -- sorry for the late reply, I've been in Istanbul.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous: if you soak them for long enough no need to cook the chickpeas.
Nice looking hummus! Hummus is one of my favorite dips/spreads. Nice and simple and yet so good!
