O Que Você Precisa Saber

- Well-cooked and soft chickpeas are the base for achieving an ultra-velvety texture without lumps in the processor. - The cold water added little by little during mixing emulsifies the tahini fats, lightening the paste. - The balance between the acidity of the lemon and the nutty fat of the sesame paste defines the authentic oriental profile.

Chef Tips

- Retire as casquinhas transparentes dos grãos de bico antes de processar para garantir consistência lisa sedosa. - Adicione pedrinhas de gelo pequenas no processador para aerar a mistura e deixá-la incrivelmente branca e fofa. - Sirva espalhando a pasta no prato com as costas da colher formando uma cavidade central para reter o azeite.

Variations

- Beet hummus: add 1 small cooked beet in the food processor to get a vibrant pink paste. - With smoked paprika: sprinkle sweet paprika and cumin powder over the olive oil when bringing to the table. - Hummus with meat: cover the pasta served on the plate with strips of beef sautéed with pine nuts.

Substitutions

- A pasta de tahine integral tradicional pode ser substituída por manteiga de amendoim sem açúcar para sabor alternativo. - O azeite de oliva extravirgem pode ser substituído por óleo de gergelim torrado para notas mais tostadas. - O dente de alho cru pode ser substituído por dentes de alho assados para um paladar mais suave.

How to Store

Store the hummus in an airtight glass jar in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Pour a thin layer of olive oil over the surface of the paste before covering to prevent oxidation and drying of the top layer.

Can You Freeze It?

You can freeze in a plastic container with a lid for up to 3 months, leaving 1 cm free. Thaw in the refrigerator for 12 hours and beat vigorously with a spoon or fork with a drizzle of warm olive oil to recover the texture.

What to Serve With

Serve with toasted pita bread, soft pita bread, crunchy carrot sticks, cucumber, and fresh celery. Composes the classic Arab mezze table alongside falafel, fresh tabbouleh and marinated black olives.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did the hummus paste get a grainy and heavy texture?

The chickpeas did not cook long enough or there was a lack of cold water during the emulsion; beat for at least 5 minutes.

What is the purpose of putting ice water in the middle of processing?

Cold water and ice react with the tahini lipids, promoting a stable emulsion, lightening the color, and aerating the paste.

Can I use canned chickpeas to save time?

You can, but boil the grains in water with half a teaspoon of baking soda for 15 minutes to soften the fiber before blending.

Como evitar que o gosto de alho cru fique forte demais?

Triture o alho junto com o suco de limão e deixe repousar por 10 minutos antes de bater; a acidez neutraliza o ardor do alho.
