COOKING METHOD

First of all, soak the dried chickpeas eight hours or overnight covered with two inches of water with one teaspoon of bicarbonate. Meanwhile, as the beans dehydrate they will triple in size. Adding plenty of water is essential.

Step 1
Step 2

Secondly, drain-wash thoroughly and rinse well the chickpeas into a strainer. Afterwards, transfer to a large cooking pot covered with water about 2 inches. At this point, cover with a lid and bring to a boil over low heat, probably for about 2 to 3 hours. In the meantime, a white foam will form on the top of the chickpeas. Therefore, do not remove the foam because it will help soften the beans.

Step 3

Fourthly, combine all ingredients in the food processor, drained chickpeas, tahini, lemon salt and the ice cubes in the bowl of the food processor fitted with the blade attachment or blender. After that, mix continuously for about 5 minutes and scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to integrate any large chunks. Finally, add the corn oil into the hummus. As a result, the oil will help create a creamier texture. Taste and adjust seasonings to your liking if needed.

Step 4

In addition, add in fresh herbs or any other flavour you crave: think beetroot, roasted red pepper, lots of basil, lots of cilantro or even pesto. There is no limit for creativity! Plate in a small bowl, serve with extra virgin olive oil, Lebanese bread or use another method of plating as shown in the video.
