Classic Hummus Recipe

Hummus is a delicious and versatile Middle Eastern dip made from mashed chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic. It's a perfect appetizer or snack, and can be enjoyed with pita bread, vegetables, or even crackers.

Here's how to make your own classic hummus at home:

Ingredients:

• 200 gms boiled Darsa-Organics Chickpeas
• Juice of 2 lemons
• 2 tbsp tahini (sesame paste)
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 1/4 tsp Darsa-Organics Cumin Powder
• 2-3 tbsp Olive Oil
• Paprika for garnish (optional)
• Lemon, sliced (optional)
• 1 finely chopped Green Chilli (optional)
• Pine nuts (optional)
• Salt to taste

Preparation:

1. Combine all ingredients in a food processor.
2. Grind until you get a smooth and creamy paste. Scrape down the sides as needed.
3. If the hummus is too thick, add a little water, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
4. Season with salt to taste.

Notes:

• For an extra-smooth hummus, remove the chickpea skins before blending. You can do this by rubbing the cooked chickpeas between your fingers.
• Want to add some extra flavor? Try roasting the garlic cloves in the oven for a deeper, richer taste.
• Hummus can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
• Get creative with your garnishes! A drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of paprika, chopped fresh herbs, or even a dollop of pesto can all add a nice touch.
