A simple and delicious hummus can be made within minutes, by using soaked chickpeas, sesame seeds, garlic and olive oil. To prepare hummus, chickpeas is a must and so it should be soaked overnight. The best way is to buy canned garbanzo beans and anytime we can make this mouthwatering dip at home.
Hummus is a middle eastern dip, which is famous worldwide. I love my hummus along with roasted or grilled chicken, salads or simply like that. To make this hummus, tahini is an important ingredient. Tahini is nothing but sesame seed paste. As I didn’t have tahini at home, I added sesame seeds to the chickpeas in the food processor. If you don’t want to add tahini, just make the hummus with soaked chickpeas, it will be little liquidy. The taste won’t differ. It will be delicious.
It is said that chickpeas are the most popular legumes consumed in the world, because of lots of protein, zinc, and iron and which are very good replacements for meat.
