Hummus! (for Jens)

I, Martina, go through hummus phases, another one has just been started... here's my tahini free recipe, you can replace the sesame oil with another nut oil if you prefer, walnut or almond is fantastic!

Hummus

1 can chickpeas

1 clove garlic

3 tbsp olive oil

2 tsp sesame oil

2 tsp coriander seeds

2 tsp cumin seeds

juice of 1 lemon

rind of same lemon

salt to taste

fresh coriander and olive oil to garnish

Take all of the ingredients except for the herbs and place them in your food processor or a bowl to hand blend them. Toast your herbs in a pan until they are fragrant. Sprinkle them on the rest of your ingredients puree until the chickpeas are soft. When the mixture has no more visible chickpeas, taste it to see if you have salted correctly and adjust it to your liking. Put it in a bowl and serve it with a drizzle of olive oil and some cilantro. You can add all sorts of fun stuff to this recipe like pesto or sundried tomatoes or use different dried herbs. It should keep in your fridge for about a week... depending on how adventurous you are. I serve it with pita bread or knäckebröd. Yum :)

 

Enjoy!
