I love the simplicity of this dish – no fancy ingredients and no techniques involved. Just toss all of the ingredients together in a blender and blend until you get a smooth and creamy hummus. Classic hummus is prepared with 5 basic ingredients – chickpeas, lemon juice, garlic, tahini and salt. But feel free to play around with all kind of veggies and sprouts to make it more flavorful and nutritious – the possibilities are endless.
If you do not have Tahini on hand, no worries – use a few drops of sesame oil as a substitute. Or simply grind some white sesame seeds along with water, salt, lemon juice and olive oil into a smooth paste. Homemade Tahini sauce is ready, it’s that easy! I started my recipe with freshly boiled chickpeas but store bought chickpeas can be used to save some time. Do not throw away the chickpea brine solution or boiled chickpea water – that’s the magic aquafaba. I have used aquafaba to make – vegan mayonnaise and spring roll wrappers. This liquid is a great egg replacement in some of the recipes. Once hummus is ready, refrigerate it for an hour. It tastes delicious when cold. Enjoy homemade spicy chickpea hummus recipe with fresh veggies, toasted breads, chips and crackers. A great spread for sandwiches and toast too! I invite all hummus lovers to give this recipe a try and I am sure you are going to ♥ ♥ it. If you happen to make this recipe, please leave me a comment or share your pics with me on Facebook. I would love to see your creation and would be happy to answer any questions. Cheers!
