Hummus

Serves 2 litres

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 10 minutes, plus overnight soaking time

Cooking Time 50 minutes

Ingredients

500 g dried chickpeas
2 t bicarbonate of soda
6 cloves garlic, crushed
1 cup fresh lemon juice
3 cups Woolworths tahini
1 T salt
1 cup hot water
1 t cumin (optional)

Method

1. Soak the chickpeas in 3 times the amount of water and 1 t bicarbonate of soda overnight.

2. Drain the chickpeas in a colander and rinse under cold water.

3. Boil in a saucepan with double the amount of water and the remaining bicarbonate of soda until soft and almost falling apart. The bicarbonate of soda makes the skins come to the surface and they can be easily skimmed away

4. Strain the chickpeas and allow to cool slightly, then blend with the remaining ingredients until smooth.
