hummus is probably the easiest and most famous way to eat chickpeas, we propose here our version, that you can pair with some bread and veggies, or use as a side to any dish you like, in order to easily eat a nutricious and delicious meal!

ingredients

---

• chickpeas: 240g boiled, 100g raw dried
• garlic: 1 clove (1/2 if you like it mild)
• lemon: juice of 1/4 to 1/2 of a lemon, depending on your taste
• vegetable stock or water: 60g
• extra-virgin olive oil: 3 spoons + 2 more spoons to garnish
• salt and pepper
• rosemary (optional)

the original recipe includes tahini (sesame sauce), but we like it better without. if you’re curious about it, try to add a couple of spoons to your hummus and see if you like it!

enrich your hummus with any spice, herb or flavor you like: you can substitute rosemary with thyme, chili pepper, capers, sun dried tomatoes, miso paste… be creative and explore!
