To make the hummus
- Take a small jar of the blender and put the soaked and boiled chickpeas in it. Before boiling the chickpeas, it is very important to soak them beforehand for 6-8 hours to ensure proper cooking. We have pressure cooked the kabuli chana as it saves time but if you do not have it, then you can even boil them.
- Add the olive oil to the blender. Olive oil is actually the second most important element of hummus and helps the chickpeas blend smoothly into a paste.
- Now add the garlic cloves. We are adding 2 medium sized garlic cloves for a subtle garlic taste, but you can add more according to your preference.
- Now we add about 1/4th cup of curd/yogurt and some salty to taste. While yogurt is used here as a replacement of tahini, it actually forms a part of the Turkish hummus recipe and not the Lebanese. You can even try different variations of hummus in the sandwich like Spinach hummus or the Spicy Garlic Hummus.
- Add 3 tbsps of water and carefully shut the lid of the blender jar. Blend the chickpeas into a smooth paste. Since there are too many solids in the jar, you might have to open it a couple of times, mix it with a spoon and then blend again. This will ensure that even all the tiny pieces are blended properly. Keep aside.
For the vegetable and hummus stuffing
- Heat the olive oil in a deep non-stick pan and add the garlic once the oil is hot.
- Add the onions and sauté on a medium flame for 1 minute or till translucent. We have finely chopped both onion and garlic so that no big chunks come in the mouth.
- Add the colored capsicums and sauté on a medium flame for 1 minute or till soft. We have used a variety of colored capsicums but if you don’t have different colors, you can use just one in a larger quantity. The different colored capsicums provide a little sweetness to the stuffing.
- Now we will add some finely chopped broccoli.
- Then add the finely chopped basil for a fresh, pleasant taste.
- We will now add the dried herbs – oregano and chilli flakes. Both these herbs are crucial in any Lebanese or middle eastern recipe as they give such a unique taste.
- Finally add the cheese and salt to the veggies and sauté on a medium flame for 1 minute or till the cheese melts and completely mixes with the vegetables.
- Switch off the flame and keep the mixture aside to cool slightly.
- Finally add the prepared hummus to the veggies and mix well till evenly mixed. The consistency of this should be like that of a spread or a dip so that it can be easily applied over bread.
