I had some homemade hummus yesterday, the lady said she just blends up chickpeas, sundried tomatoes and something else which I've forgotten..
So 2 questions - what could that other ingredient have been, and how do I cook chickpeas? She said she doesn't soak them but I thought chickpeas did need soaking?
eta - I won't see the lady again until after the holidays but I really want to make some.
If you are using canned chickpeas you won't need to soak them.
The other main ingredient in hummus is tanini (sesame seed paste). I think that is about it?
She may not have used raw chickpeas - ones from a can don't need soaking Olive oil is a possible third ingredient maybe?
I haven't made any in years, so I can't remember what goes in it sorry!
Garlic would be yum! Pretty sure you just whizzy blend with whatever you want for flavouring :) Olive oil sounds about right! I have a recipe at home that has lemon juice I am sure of it...
Thanks for the replies. I think I've remembered she said parsley as the other ingredient. Gonna try making some tomorrow, think I will use sundried tomatoes and some garlic. Have got chickpeas soaking..any ideas on how long to cook them for?
