While we commonly make quick and easy versions of hummus with chickpeas, garlic and curds, this is a slightly more elaborate hummus with tahini paste.
This authentic hummus with tahini paste recipe has a rich mouth-feel and really strong flavour. Apart from the exciting flavour of tahini paste, the strong taste of garlic and a tinge of lemony tang are also clearly noticeable in this recipe, not to forget the herby touch of parsley.
Hummus is super easy to make all you need to do is soak kabuli chana a day prior! Once, the kabuli chana are soaked, pressure cook them. Drain and transfer to a mixing jar. Further, add tahini paste. Tahini paste is a thick, creamy paste made by roasting sesame seeds and grinding them up with olive oil to get a paste. This paste is an essential ingredient in making the traditional Lebanese hummus.
Next, add garlic. Lemon juice and cumin powder. With it add olive oil. This is the second most important ingredient for hummus. Use extra virgin olive oil if possible, but if you don’t have that, then regular is fine. At this stage you can also add a little curd to make the hummus light and fluffy. Blend to a smooth mixture. Add a little reserved chickpea cooking water, only if required. Add this water, little by little, as you do not want your hummus to be runny. I have used approximately 2-3 tbsps of water. Further, take it out in a serving bowl. Drizzle olive oil over Lebanese hummus, sprinkle cumin seed powder and garnish with parsley.
You can serve the hummus with tahini paste along with Lavash or Chips, to make a wonderful finger food. You can munch on it while watching a movie, but it is so tasty that it can be served at parties too!
You can also try other Lebanese delights like Lebanese Garlic Sauce and Pita Bread.
