HUMMUS TEHINA
Equipment
- Large Bowl
- Large Pot
- Food Processor
Ingredients
- 1 Cup Dried Chickpeas
- 2 tsp. Baking Soda
- 1½ Cups Basic Tehina Sauce Plus A Bit More For The Topping
- 1 tsp. Kosher Salt
- ¼ tsp. Ground Cumin
- Paprika
- Chopped Fresh Parsley
- Olive Oil For Drizzling
Instructions
- Place the chickpeas in a large bowl with 1 teaspoon of baking soda and cover with water. (The chickpeas will double in volume, so use more water than you think you need.) Soak the chickpeas overnight at room temperature. The next day, drain the chickpeas and rinse under cold water.
- Place the chickpeas in a large pot with the remaining 1 teaspoon baking soda and add cold water to cover by at least 4 inches.
- Bring the chickpeas to a boil over high heat, skimming off any scum that rises to the surface. Lower the heat to medium, cover the pot, and continue to simmer for about 1 hour until the chickpeas are completely tender. Then simmer them a little more. (The secret to creamy hummus is overcooked chickpeas; don’t worry if they are mushy and falling apart a little.) Drain.
- Combine the chickpeas, tehina sauce, salt, and cumin in a food processor. Pulse the hummus for several minutes, until it is smooth and Auber-creamy. Then puree it some more!
- To serve, spread the hummus in a shallow bowl, dust with paprika, top with parsley and more tehina sauce if you like, and drizzle generously with oil.
