Ingredients Needed:

• 3 garlic cloves, whole with skins on (or a whole bulb, see below)
• 1 x 400g tin of Kala chana, drained
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 x 400g can of chickpeas, drained
• Juice of ½ lemon
• 3 tbsp tahini
• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• ½ tsp sea salt
• 2 ice cubes (optional)

For the pickled onions:

• 1 red onion, sliced
• Juice of 1 lime
• 1 tsp sea salt

To serve:

• ½ tsp cumin seeds, toasted
• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

How To Make Hummus Recipe?

1. Roast the Garlic: Preheat the oven to 140°C. Wrap the garlic cloves in tin foil and roast for about 2 hours, until soft and tender. If using a whole bulb, you’ll have extra roasted garlic for other recipes.
2. Roast the Kala Chana: Increase the oven temperature to 200°C (180°C fan / Gas 6). Spread the Kala chana on a baking tray, drizzle with olive oil, and roast for 10-15 minutes until golden and crisp. Set aside to cool.
3. Pickle the Onions: In a bowl, combine the sliced red onion, lime juice, and sea salt. Scrunch together and set aside to lightly pickle, tossing occasionally.
4. Make the Hummus: Squeeze the roasted garlic from its skins and add it to a food processor. Add the chickpeas, lemon juice, tahini, extra virgin olive oil, and sea salt. Blitz until smooth. For extra creaminess, add ice cubes and blitz again.
5. Assemble and Serve: Spread the hummus onto a plate. Top with the pickled onions, crispy Kala chana, toasted cumin seeds, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Serve with crusty bread.

Recipe Tips:

• Use roasted garlic: Roasting garlic gives it a soft, sweet flavor that enhances the hummus. Don’t skip this step!
• For extra creaminess, add ice cubes: Ice cubes help make the hummus smoother and creamier, so don’t be afraid to add them.
• Adjust the seasoning: Taste and add more salt, lemon, or tahini as needed to suit your preference.
• Let the hummus chill: For the best flavor, chill the hummus in the fridge for at least an hour before serving.
• Toast the cumin seeds: Toasting cumin seeds adds an extra layer of flavor that makes the dish stand out.

How To Store Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Let the hummus cool to room temperature, then store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Freeze: You can freeze hummus for up to 1 month.
