Categories     side-dish

Time 14h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup dried chickpeas
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 cup tahini
2 cloves garlic, optional
1/4 cup cold water
Olive oil, for serving
Finely chopped onion (for topping) or onion wedges (for dipping)
Chopped fresh parsley, for serving
Fresh pita, for serving

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, cover the chickpeas with enough water to reach 2 inches above the height of the chickpeas and soak them for 12 hours.
  • Drain and rinse the chickpeas and place them in a large saucepan with the baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Cover them with 1 to 2 inches water and bring the water to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot and simmer until the chickpeas are very soft, about 2 hours. Drain them, let them cool slightly and then transfer to a food processor.
  • Add the lemon juice, tahini, 1/4 teaspoon salt and the garlic, if using, and blend until very smooth, about 1 minute. With the motor running, drizzle in the water and continue to blend for 1 more minute. Taste and add additional salt to taste. Transfer to a serving dish and top with a drizzle of olive oil and some chopped onion and parsley. Serve with fresh pita and onion wedges and enjoy.
  • Any leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge with a thin layer of olive oil coating the top.

I made this recipe the other day when I was hungry for hummus but didn't have all the ingredients. Italian-style salad dressing adds a nice zest to an otherwise traditional favorite. Garnish with the unused half of the red pepper or spinach. Serve with bagels or pita bread.

Tips:

  • To make the hummus-like spread creamier, use canned chickpeas instead of dried chickpeas. Canned chickpeas are already cooked and soft, so they will blend more easily.
  • If you don't have tahini, you can substitute it with peanut butter or almond butter. However, the taste will be slightly different.
  • To make the spread more flavorful, add some roasted red peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, or chopped olives.
  • If you want a spicier spread, add some chili powder or cayenne pepper. You can also add some chopped jalapeños.
  • Serve the spread with pita bread, crackers, or vegetable crudités. You can also use it as a sandwich spread or as a dip for chicken or fish.

Michelle's Zesty Hummus-Like Spread is a delicious and versatile dip or spread that can be enjoyed in many different ways.
