RECIPE NOTES & TIPS
Ingredients Info:
- Chickpeas – are a type of legume also known as garbanzo beans. Drain and rinse the chickpeas well before using, reserving some of the liquid.
- Tahini – is made from sesame seeds ground into a smooth paste. I use hulled tahini in my hummus as it gives it a creamier flavour than unhulled.
- Reserve a small amount (approximately ¼ cup) of the chickpea liquid before draining and rinsing the chickpeas. This can be added to the dip to make it smoother.
- Storage - homemade hummus can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
- Freezing - hummus can be frozen in individual airtight containers for up to 4 months. Allow it to completely thaw before serving.
- Serve with crostini, crackers, lavosh, vegetable sticks or rice crackers.
- Alternatively, dollop onto lamb, grilled meat or add to your favourite salad, couscous or felafel.
