Directions
- Cooking dried chickpea: soak chickpea in water overnight. On the next day, wash it and cook it with a bit of salt until soft. Put aside until it gets cold.
- In a medium bowl, place cooked organic chickpea, add garlic, lemon juice, tahini and a 1-2 tbs of cold water.
- Use the kitchen blender to blend everything until it becomes smooth.
- Add a bit of more water if needed (it will make your houmous more fluffy). Add cumin, salt, pepper and mix together (you can also use blender here))
- Top it with a bit of extra virgin olive oil and smoked pepper.
- Serve it with bread, breadsticks, olives, pickles and cut veggies.
- Tip: Always use organic chickpea!
