Chef Tips
- Rub the cooked chickpeas on a cloth to loosen the transparent skins and discard them to obtain an ultra-smooth texture.
- Let the minced garlic clove soak in lemon juice for 10 minutes before blending to soften the residual sharpness.
- Finish by opening a circular groove in the paste with the back of a spoon and fill with extra virgin olive oil and paprika.
Variations
- Hummus with roasted garlic: replace raw garlic with a whole head of roasted garlic for sweet and caramelized notes.
- Beet hummus: process half a cooked beetroot along with the mixture to obtain a vibrant purple paste.
- Hummus with fresh herbs: blend cilantro, parsley, and fresh mint leaves with tahini for a refreshing green version.
Substitutions
- Grão-de-bico seco cozido em casa: pode ser substituído por grão-de-bico em conserva bem escorrido e lavado em água corrente.
- Tahine industrial: pode ser feito em casa tostando levemente sementes de gergelim branco e batendo com azeite até virar pasta.
- Páprica doce para decorar: utilize páprica defumada, cominho em pó ou sumac (sumagre) para uma nota cítrica rústica.
How to Store
Guarde o homus em pote de vidro bem tampado na geladeira por até 5 dias. Mantenha uma camada fina de azeite por cima para evitar que a superfície resseque ou oxide em contato com o ar.
Can You Freeze It?
Can be frozen in an airtight container for up to 90 days, leaving 1 cm of space for expansion. Thaw in the fridge and beat again with a fork or mixer adding 1 tablespoon of cold water to recover the shine.
What to Serve With
Serve with warm artisan pita bread, crispy whole-grain toasts, carrot sticks, and fresh cucumber strips. Pairs perfectly with grilled meats and Middle Eastern dishes like kibbeh and falafel.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the secret for hummus to have a restaurant consistency?
The secret is to beat the tahini with the lemon before the chickpeas and add water with ice cubes during the continuous emulsion.
Why does removing the skin from the chickpeas make a difference?
Transparent films have tough fibers that do not break down completely; removing them ensures a silky paste without grains.
The hummus turned out with a strong and bitter sesame taste, what to do?
Add a few more drops of fresh lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of cold water, beating again to balance the tahini's astringency.
Can I freeze ready-made hummus?
Yes, hummus supports freezing very well; just beat quickly in a mixer after thawing to restore the velvety texture.
