Making hummus is very easy.
You can buy canned chickpeas and make it easily, but with a little effort you can make healthier and tastier hummus.
We always have hummus in our refrigerator. It’s one of my husband’s favorite foods.
It’s probably because it’s the food my husband ate since childhood. It would be like I can’t live without kimchi. ha ha ha..
Since I make it often, I gradually learn how to make it taste better. So, this hummus recipe will be my most delicious hummus recipe ever.
If you know how to make it even more delicious, please let me know.
I’m sure my husband would appreciate it more.
Hummus is an Arabic word meaning chickpea.
It has been eaten in Egypt and the Middle East since a long time ago, but it is unclear which country it originated from. So, in the Middle East, each other claims that their country is the origin, but there is no evidence yet.
As it is a food made and eaten by many people in many countries, it is made with various ingredients.
Of course, chickpeas are the main ingredient, plus lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil. Also add tahini. Is the name unfamiliar? Do not worry.
Tahini is sesame seeds. In the Middle East, peel and grind very finely, mix with olive oil and eat a lot as a sauce. I also add cumin powder.
Depending on your taste, you can also add finely chopped red pepper, cilantro, or parsley and mix them.
Mostly put it in a bowl and sprinkle olive oil, paprika powder, cilantro or parsley, or mint on it as a decoration.
Hummus is rich in nutrients, and those who eat chickpeas regularly will benefit from fiber, polyunsaturated fatty acids, and vitamins.
