This week’s recipe has ancient Middle Eastern origins; from Lebanon, Palestine and Israel it has arrived here, bringing spicy and exotic flavors to our Mediterranean dinner tables, completely transforming our idea of appetizers, delicacies and finger foods.
\nPaired with Naan bread, Greek pita bread or simple crispy bruschetta, chickpea hummus with tahini<\/strong> is the favorite chickpea sauce<\/strong> to dip in fresh sticks of seasonal vegetables, such as celery, carrots, fennel or peppers – the “one leads to the other” kind of a snack while chatting before dinner.
\nBut thanks to the different variations of hummus<\/strong>, which have been tested over time, its use is much broader than what has just been said: have you ever tried pure chickpea hummus<\/strong> spread on sandwiches with salami and cheeses? Or have you ever served this chickpea mousse<\/strong> paired with a meat dish or as a condiment for pasta?<\/p>\n

We at Frantoio Bonamini like this sesame cream<\/strong> in all its versions but if we really have to choose specifically we prefer to share with you the chickpea hummus with extra virgin olive oil<\/strong>, in which extra virgin olive oil<\/strong> plays a fundamental role as the main ingredient to flavor the chickpea hummus<\/strong> and give it a slightly more Western flavour, in stark contrast to its oriental flavour.<\/p>\n

Hummus: the Simple Recipe for a Dip with Mediterranean Taste<\/h2>\n

Ingredients for 4 people:<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2022 800g of pre-cooked chickpeas<\/strong>
\n\u2022 6 tablespoons of tahina<\/strong> (sesame seed paste<\/strong>)
\n\u2022 2 Lemons \u2013 the juice
\n\u2022 50 g of Extra Virgin Olive Oil<\/strong>
\n\u2022 1 teaspoon ground cumin
\n\u2022 3 cloves of garlic
\n\u2022 Salt to taste
\n\u2022 Paprika\/chili pepper to taste<\/p>\n

Method:<\/em><\/p>\n

\u2022 Drain and rinse the chickpeas<\/strong> for the hummus<\/strong> under running, cold water
\n\u2022 In a large blender, add to the chickpeas: tahini, lemon juice, garlic, extra virgin olive oil<\/strong>, cumin and salt.
\n\u2022 Blend until you reach a thick and homogeneous mixture.
\n\u2022 If following this chickpea hummus recipe<\/strong> the cream is too thick, add more extra virgin olive oil<\/strong>.
\n\u2022 Season with salt and serve the chickpea sauce<\/strong> in a bowl, finishing everything with a sprinkling of paprika or chilli pepper, some white or black sesame seeds and a raw drizzle of olive oil<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thanks to its fruity and herbaceous notes, EVO oil<\/strong> will be able to enrich the flavor of this hummus recipe<\/strong>, giving creaminess during preparation and bringing health benefits given the presence of antioxidants and monounsaturated fats. Furthermore, the use of extra virgin olive oil<\/strong> will make the chickpea hummus<\/strong> more digestible and lighter, without burdening the liver, which is more common if seed oil is used. Finally, it is important to mention that as is known, extra virgin oil<\/strong> helps in the preservation of the product, creating a protective layer on the surface of our chickpea cream<\/strong> that counteracts the formation of mold and oxidation.<\/p>\n

\"Humus<\/p>\n

By now it is clear to everyone how olive oil<\/strong> is fundamental for the correct preparation and harmony of taste of chickpea hummus;<\/strong> an intense fruity oil<\/strong> like our Santa Giustina<\/strong> <\/a>or Vert de Vertes<\/strong><\/a> will give a fragrant and strong aroma, with hints of artichoke, green tomato, rocket and hay. Ideal for those who want to combine chickpea mousse<\/strong> with equally tasty dishes such as falafel meatballs, spiced meat skewers or crunchy bruschetta.<\/p>\n

Those who, however, are not fond of intense flavors but instead love olive oil,<\/strong> could opt for a more delicate extra virgin olive oil<\/strong> for the preparation of this hummus<\/strong>, such as our Valsecca<\/strong> <\/a>or Or De Noires<\/strong><\/a>. Hints of almond, field grass and yellow apple that create perfect harmony when combining simple chickpea hummus<\/strong> with mixed salads, white meats and boiled fish and boiled vegetables.<\/p>\n

For the more adventurous we also recommend experimenting with the hummus recipe<\/strong> combined with our flavored oils<\/strong><\/a>. Lemon Oil<\/strong><\/a> and Orange Olive Oil<\/strong> <\/a>to give freshness and an inebriating scent, Chili Pepper Oil<\/strong><\/a> for that touch of spiciness that you don’t want to give up, Garlic Oil<\/a> <\/strong>which comes in handy when you are without the segments required in the traditional hummus recipe<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The range of Bonamini oils<\/a><\/strong> is wide and varied and it will give you the opportunity to experiment and play in the kitchen, creating infinitesimal versions of the much-vaunted chickpea cream<\/strong>, which is increasingly making its way onto Italian tables. Because as we know, we are good foodies by nature but if we also add a little of our Mediterranean green gold<\/strong>, then we are all set!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
