Hummus casero

Ingredientes

• 1/2 pound dried chickpeas
• 1/2 cup tahini paste
• 5 cloves garlic
• 2 tbsp honey
• juice of 3 lemons
• olive oil
• salt

Preparación

1. 1

   Put the chickpeas in a large bowl and cover with water so that there is at least 3 inches of water over them. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow to soak on the counter overnight.

2. 2

   Strain the chickpeas and add them to a pot. Cover with fresh water and bring to a simmer. Cook about 2 hours until the chickpeas are tender and creamy.

3. 3

   Strain the chickpeas and add them to a high powered blender. Add in a few tablespoons of olive oil, a tablespoon of salt, the tahini paste, garlic, lemon, and honey. Blend on high until smooth.

4. 4

   At first the mixture will take a bit to come together but be patient. Stop and stir occasionally, and add some more lemon juice or olive oil if you need to loosen it up a bit.

5. 5

   Once it comes together, make sure to continue to blend until as smooth as possible. Taste and add more seasonings if desired, like salt, garlic, lemon, or honey.

6. 6

   Serve and top with olive oil, and any spices or herbs you desire. Serve with veggies and grain free chips.
