A classic arabic treat. Normally you can get ready-made Hummus in any super market. But there's no need to buy it ready-made when it's so simple to make yourself.
INGREDIENTS :
200g Canned Chickpeas
2 tbsp Lemon Juice Or more
2 Crushed garlic cloves
1 tsp Ground Cumin
100ml Tahini (Optional)
4 Tbsp water
2Tbsp extr virgin olive oil
1Tsp paprika
Salt
4 rounds of Pitta bread
METHOD :
Drain the chickpeas and rinse under cold water in a sieve. Keep a few whole chickpeas to one side for serving. Mix the chickpeas, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, salt, thini and water in a food processor, and blend well until you have a thick, creamy puree. Add a splash more lemon juice, a pinch more garlic and cumin or salt to taste.
Spoon the mixture onto a dinner plate, and make it smooth by pressing with the back of a spoon. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and scatter with the whole chickpeas.
Sprinkle with paprika and serve with pitta bread, warmed in the oven for three minutes and cut into quarters.
