Makes about 1 kg of Hummus (scale down if needed):
Ingredients :
- 500g Dried Chickpeas
- 250g Tahini
- 70-100g ice
- 75ml Lemon Juice
- 2 Tsp Salt
- 1 Tsp Baking Soda Citric acid (optional)
Directions:
To prepare the chickpeas:
- Add your dry chickpeas to a bowl and completely submerge with water. Allow them to soak for 8-12h or overnight
- Rinse your chickpeas, then add to a pot with the baking soda. Pour water over the chickpeas to cover them by about 2 inches
- Turn the heat up to high and bring the pot to a boil. When the chickpeas foam up, stir the foam back into the pot and turn the heat to medium.
- Cook for half an hour, then remove some of the chickpeas and set aside to use as a garnish later
- Place a lid on your pot and cook the chickpeas for another 30-60 minutes on medium
- The chickpeas are done cooking when they are extremely soft and have burst. They should mash very easily and the skins should have dissolved
- Allow any extra water to evaporate away
- Pour the cooked chickpeas onto a plate, and allow it to cool completely until room temp (You can freeze these and defrost them whenever you want hummus)
To make the hummus:
- Add your prepared chickpeas to a food processor or blender, and process for 3-4 minutes, scraping down the side of the bowl halfway, until the chickpeas are processed into a super fine paste. If this is lumpy, you need to process longer. Feel it between your fingers and it should be floury
- Add 70g of ice into the food processor, and process into the chickpeas until light and fluffy
- Now add the tahini and mix it in. Then when that has been fully incorporated add the lemon juice
- You can now adjust to your desired acidity/thickness by adding citric acid or more ice
- Store in the fridge for up to a week
To serve hummus:
- Place a pile on a plate or bowl
- Use the inside of the spoon to build the hummus up into a mound, while rotating the plate
- Use the back of the spoon to push the hummus outwards and create the classic well shape
- Add your toppings such as chickpeas, then pour in olive oil.
