Instructions
To peel chickpeas (optional)
- Strain your canned or boiled chickpeas and place them into a bowl with fresh water.
- Rub and roll the chickpeas between your hands so that the skin goes off. It's easier if the chickpeas were still hot (i.e., after boiling) and if the water is nice and cold.
- Peel all chickpeas or just half, it's up to you how smooth you want your hummus. This takes about 10 minutes.
- Strain peeled chickpeas and discard peel.
To blend
- Keep all fresh ingredients ready. Chop cilantro and mint, peel and roughly chop garlic, juice lime.
- Place peeled chickpeas into a large blender jar or food processor.
- Add the garlic, lime juice, ground coriander seeds, ground cumin, paprika powder, cayenne pepper powder, salt and black pepper to the chickpeas.
- Pour half of the water and olive oil, into the jar or food processor, to the chickpeas. The rest will be added during the blending period, to help the blender/food processor to pulse and blend the heavy mass to a smooth hummus.
- Blend your chickpeas and other ingredients to a smooth hummus with the remaining water and olive oil.
To top
- Place hummus into a serving bowl. Top with olive oil, chopped mint and cilantro, paprika and/or cayenne pepper.
- Serve up in room temperature.
Notes
- You can choose to peel your chickpeas, it's optional because it's an extra chore. I recommend peeling your chickpeas, which takes about 10 minutes. The hummus will turn out better and much smoother. If you don't peel them, your hummus will be grainy. It also helps your digestion if you peel them first.
- Don't keep your hummus standing around too long uncovered, or else a hard layer will form around the top layer of your hummus. To avoid that, pour olive oil over the hummus. This will prevent a hard layer to form.
- Serve up smaller portions or keep your serving bowl covered with a plastic wrap until serving time.
