A traditional recipe for Hummus from the Middle East! Very easy and delicious!

Ingredients

220-250 g chickpeas

1 tsp salt

5 tbsp olive oil

1 clove of garlic

2 tsp tahini

1 small lemon

1/3-1/2 cup water from the boiled chickpeas

Directions

Put the chickpeas in a large pot and cover them with plenty of water

Let them soak overnight and double in size (at least 12 hours)

The next day bring them to a boil and strain them

Put them back into the pot and cover them with water,  boil for 45 minutes – 1 hour until they soften well

After boiling,

Keep ½ cup of the water in which the chickpeas were boiled

Strain the chickpeas

Place all the ingredients in the blender except  the water from the chickpeas

Mash to homogenize, scrape with a spoon if needed

Pour the water little by little until it becomes as smooth as you want it (no need to use all the water)

Serve with a little olive oil on top
