In my earlier blog, I shared a hummus recipe without tahini paste. But thought of sharing another version, i.e. hummus recipe with tahini paste. Yesterday night I had soaked a cup of white chickpeas with the hope that I would make the quickest breakfast in the morning. And not to my surprise, it turned out really well. Hummus, a recipe that is a full-stomach protein-enriched breakfast has not originated in recent times. Rather it dates back to the 13th century. History says it was first made in ancient Egypt. Later on, it spread across the Middle East. The name Hummus is an Arabic word meaning chickpeas.
Let’s see how you can make it too for your breakfast.
Ingredients:
White chickpeas – 1 Cup (Soaked for 8 hours)
Green Chilies – 2 Nos.
Garlic cloves – 4 Nos.
Black pepper powder – ½ Teaspoon
Olive oil – ½ Cup
Water – Adequate
Lemon juice – 1 Tablespoon
Salt – To taste
Sesame seeds – 1 Tablespoon
Procedure:
For Tahini:
Dry roast the sesame seeds until they become golden.
Now blend them in a blender and make a smooth paste.
Here, I am not using any oil or salt as the hummus will have them both.
For Hummus:
Take the chickpeas and boil without salt. I pressure-cooked it to save time.
Now, put these in a blender. Add green chilies, garlic cloves, black pepper powder, lemon juice, salt, and an adequate amount of water to blend it.
Blend.
Add ½ cup of olive oil and blend it to a smooth paste.
Transfer it to a serving bowl. Add the tahini paste.
Combine them well.
Spread the rest ½ cup of olive oil over the top layer of hummus.
Your easy hummus recipe with tahini is ready.
Serve with Pita bread or brown bread.
This recipe offers 4 servings.
