I\u2019ve been sitting in front of a blank page for too long now \u2013 but I just can\u2019t find appropriate words to describe my love for hummus without sounding too cheesy. I discovered hummus way too late in my life (as with so many other delicious things) and it seems like I now have to make up for 20 lost years. I eat it with my salads, cooked quinoa or other whole grains or as a dip for vegetable sticks. When you discover me creeping to my fridge at night, you will most likely find me dipping a carrot in some hummus (\u2013 this or having a chocolate truffle).<\/p>\n
Hummus comes from the Middle East and is made from\u00a0chickpeas and tahini. Tahini is a sesame mash, comes in white and black and is probably best knows for its strong, bitter taste. It\u2019ll just blend in with the taste of chickpeas, though I do love to eat it raw on dates or as a dressing over salads.<\/p>\n
This recipe has also a great money saving option: buying chickpeas dried and in bulk will be a lot cheaper than getting canned and precooked chickpeas. It takes a bit longer to work with dried ones, as you have to soak them for at least 10 hours. They will be easier to digest for your body. Some even soak the chickpeas for two days until they begin to sprout.<\/p>\n
The first time I tried to cook chickpeas, it didn’t go so well. I didn\u2019t know about soaking and the long cooking time. Being in a rush to go to work, I took them off the stove after about 20 minutes in. Gosh, the\u00a0stomach ache\u2026<\/p>\n
