Sally’s traditional hummus recipe

 

  • Soak 2 cups dried chickpeas in water for 24 hours, until soft. (If using canned chickpeas, skip this step)
  • Drain and rinse.
  • Boil in fresh water until soft and mushy.
  • Drain but keep excess liquid for later use.
  • Place in food processor with: 3 to 4 cloves of garlic, a dash of lemon juice and a pinch of salt and 3 tablespoons of tahini (sesame) paste.
  • Mix until the paste becomes something between thick and thin. If too thick, add a little of the reserved liquid to thin out if necessary.
  • When fully mixed, transfer to a large, flat serving dish. Top with an excellent olive oil, then sprinkle with sweet paprika. Serve with slices of avocado for that added touch!
