Do you love hummus as much as I do? Have you ever tried to make some at home?
I have to admit that I tried myself last year, and the result wasn’t as good as I expected.
However, last weekend, I had the opportunity to watch in action my favorite chef, also known under the nickname my sweetheart 😉, cooking hummus for us.
He did 2 hummus variations, some healthy dips and a little salad as a side.
Recipe: Hummus #1
- 200g chickpeas (better to buy dry ones than the ones in can)
- 3 tbsp of olive oil
- half a lemon
- 1 tsp of curry
- 1 tsp of coriander
- a bit of piment spice and oregano
- a clove of garlic
- 100mL of coconut oil
- salt
Except the piment spice and oregano, the paste made from the ingredients above is used half for recipe 1 and half for recipe 2. Follow the instructions below on the pictures for the recipe and once you have the hummus paste ready, separate it in 2 equal parts for the hummus variations.
