Description

Ingredients

• 1 cup dried Chickpeas or 2 cups cooked Chickpeas
• 3 Tbsp Sesame seeds
• 1/4 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 1-3 pods of Garlic
• 1-2 Tbsp Lime juice
• 5-6 Olives
• Upto 1/2 cup water
• Salt

Directions

• Soak the dried chickpeas overnight or for 8 hours in 2 cups of water.
• Cook them with salt until they are well done. I pressure cook them, it takes around 10 minutes. Dont worry if you overcook them, thats what we need.
• Drain them and allow them to cool. Keep the water aside.
• Peel the chickpeas by gently squeezing them for a smoother hummus.
• Lightly warm the Sesame seeds in a pan and grind them into a powder.
• Blend together the chickpeas, sesame powder, garlic,salt,1 Tbsp of lime juice,2 Tbsp of olive oil and around 2 Tbsp of water.
• Blend well until the hummus is smooth. If the mixture is too sticky for your blender, continue to add 1 Tbsp of water at a time to loosen the mixture.
• Add the remaining lime juice and Olive oil as per your taste and mix well.
• Finely chop the olives and add it to the hummus and mix well.
