About the Recipe
I love hummus and I eat it a lot: as a side dish to salads, as a spread on my canapés, and sometimes as a salad dressing itself. This is a classic humus recipe with an extra kick. If you want to keep it simple just leave out the mustard and voila.
Ingredients
75g tahini paste or sesame seeds
400g tin of chickpeas, save the liquid
Juice of 1/2 lemon
2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp. ground cumin
2 garlic cloves
2 tbsp. Dijon mustard
1 tsp. mustard powder
½ tsp. cayenne pepper
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Preparation
1. If using sesame seeds, place them in a blender and grind until they create a paste.
2. Blend all ingredients until smooth, adding the chickpea liquid a little bit at the time. Depending on how thick consistency you prefer, you might use all of the chickpea liquid or just a little bit.
3. Taste for seasoning and add a little bit more olive oil, lemon juice and cumin if needed.
