Calories 100kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup Chickpeas cooked (See Note 1)
- 2 ½ teaspoons Sesame Seeds Nylon, See Note 2
- ¼ cup Tomatoes Sundried
- ¼ cup Olive Oil Extra Virgin
- ½ cup Water
- 4 cloves Garlic
- Salt to taste
- Olive oil and chopped sundried tomatoes for topping
Instructions
- For a super creamy hummus, remove the skin on the chickpeas. This is optional and doesn't affect the taste, but definitely gives you a better texture.
- To make sundried tomato hummus, add chickpeas, sesame seeds, sundried tomatoes, water, garlic and salt to a blender. Blend till smooth. Add a little more water if required.
- Add olive oil and give it another whizz, just enough to mix it in. Over blending extra virgin olive oil can lead to a bitter after taste.
- Top with chopped sundried tomatoes and olive oil and serve alongside lavash, cucumbers, carrots or celery.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Notes
To cook dried chickpeas, soak them overnight in water and pressure cook or boil till chickpeas can be mashed easily between two fingers. De-skin and use.
Nylon Til or Sesame Seeds are polished seeds and nearly white in colour. They are the best variety to use in this hummus.
