Israeli-Style Hummus

1st May 2020recipes 
Israeli-Style Hummus

Israeli-Style Hummus is super creamy and for me the creamier the hummus, the better. I can also eat this stuff with a spoon – no sides needed (although recommended).

One of the ways you achieve this is by cooking the chickpeas in their aquafaba (that’s the liquid they come in), along with baking powder, until they’re falling apart. You then blitz the hell out of them, so you’ll need a food processor, stand or stick blender for this recipe. You’ll also need to like garlic.

Israeli-Style Hummus

Serve with a salad, flatbreads and Herby Lentil Falafel for the ultimate meze meal. Make sure you blitz the hummus properly to achieve that smooth and silky texture.

Ingredients

  • 1 tin chickpeas, including aquafaba
  • 1-2 cups water
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 cup tahini
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • salt & black pepper, to taste
  • olive oil, to serve

Method

  1. In a pot over medium-high heat, place the chickpeas, their aquafaba (canning liquid), baking powder and enough extra water to just cover the chickpeas.
  2. Cook chickpeas for 20-30 minutes, until they begin to crumble and break apart.
  3. Drain the chickpeas but reserve about 1/2 a cup of the cooking liquid (you’ll need this again in a bit), and allow chickpeas to cool slightly for about 10 minutes.
  4. Place the tahini, garlic, lemon zest and juice, cumin, salt and pepper in a food processor and blend until coarsely pureed.
  5. Add the chickpeas and blend until smooth.
  6. Slowly add about a 1/4 cup of the reserved liquid and continue blending until fully combined. If you want your hummus to be a little thinner, add more liquid but be careful not to make it too thin.
  7. Check for seasoning and adjust to taste with more lemon juice, cumin, salt or pepper if needed.
  8. Pop in the fridge for about 30 minutes before serving.
  9. Spoon into a shallow bowl, make a well in the centre with the back of a spoon and drizzle with olive oil before serving.
  10. Sprinkle with desired toppings (see Notes below).
Notes

My favourite way to eat hummus is with a spoon while standing in the kitchen, but if you prefer sitting and are wanting more of a substantial snack then add a few 80’s veg sticks like carrots, celery and cucumber.
Hummus makes a great sandwich spread, especially paired with cheese and tomato.
You can also use hummus to make a creamy salad dressing by adding a few spoonfuls to a jar or bottle, adding sunflower or olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt & black pepper. Shake vigorously to emulsify and use as needed.

Topping Ideas:
Crispy Spiced Chickpeas, chopped flat-leaf parsley, smoked paprika, cumin, sliced red onion, lemon juice, Sumac, Za’Atar.

✨Are you a small food business needing content?✨

I love collaborating with businesses who share the same values and love for all things food. I also know how tough it can be juggling a million things, plus having very little resources and not being able to make content you can share with the world to show them just how beautiful your brand, products and/or services are.

Have also decided to start printing my own background boards with surfaces I find, like this concrete screed which I used to photograph one of the jars of Coconut & Mango Chia Puddings I made before we left Joburg (recipe below)... 

Coconut & Mango Chia Pudding Jars

Ingredients Per 200ml Le Parfait Super Terrine Jar:

1/2 cup coconut milk
2 tbsp chia seeds
1/2 mango, roughly chopped 
200ml Le Parfait Super Terrine

Combine the coconut milk and chia seeds in a small bowl or glass jug (depending on the amount of servings you’re making), and place in the fridge to allow the chia seeds to swell for 20 minutes. Place the chopped mango in the bottom of the jar and and top with the chia & coconut milk mixture. Pop the swing-top lid on and refrigerate until serving. Can be made up to 3 days in advance.

Experimenting with nut butters is something I star Experimenting with nut butters is something I started doing around 2014, when I was following a HFLC diet. Back then the nut butter industry was still very much in its infancy in South Africa, so I made a lot of my own. My poor Nutribullet used to take such a beating, that it eventually had to be replaced after I burnt the motor out 🤦🏼‍♀️

Fast-forward a few years and my equipment has since been upgraded to a Thermomix, although I don’t really make my own nut butter anymore but still love the stuff!

@buttanuttspreads sent me a very generous box of their range of nut butters a couple of weeks ago, which I haven’t really had to time to get properly stuck into yet - but it’s coming! 

I did manage to work this Cinnamon Macadamia Nut Butter into the Horchata Oat & Fig Bowl recipe I published on my site a few days ago, which worked beautifully.

We’ve been regularly visiting Marloth since December 2019 and have developed a serious fondness for it. So much so that my boyfriend recently bought a plot here, which he plans to build on in the next couple of years - so watch this space for more about this piece of paradise and follow @naboom_house if you’re interested in plot, building and bush-related stuff 🌳
