Description
I like creamy hummus, no chalky hummus for this girl!
This is a slightly modified recipe from my favorite vegetarian book 1,000 vegetarian recipes. For enhanced flavor, use homemade tahini (see recipe #126641). The hummus must be prepared several hours in advance for best flavor. Do not substitute dried parsley for fresh.
Ingredients
- Chickpeas
- Tahini
- Fresh Lemon Juice
- Oil
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Garlic Cloves
- Cumin Powder
- Salt
- Flat-leaf Italian Parsley
- Paprika
- Sumaq
- Parsley Sprig
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients except for reserved bean liquid into a food processor or blender
- While appliance is running begin gradually pouring some of the bean liquid down the feeding tube
- Process until smooth and creamy
- If the appliance is laboring you need to add more liquid
- Scrape down sides of appliance
- Taste test hummus and add more salt, lemon, etc if necessary
- Hummus should be not too garlicky, not too lemony, not too pasty from the sesame seeds- a happy medium
- Transfer prepared hummus to a serving bowl and garnish with a drizzle of olive oil around the inner edges of the bowl and a sprinkle of sumac
- Lastly, garnish with a sprig of fresh parsley
- Serve with chips, cut up vegetables, baked pita triangles, etc
