Classic Hummus

6 servings

40 minutes

Hummus is a creamy paste made from chickpeas and tahini, an essential part of traditional Jewish cuisine. Its roots go back centuries, connecting Middle Eastern cultures. Classic hummus has a velvety texture, a subtle nutty flavor from tahini, and a pleasant tang from lemon juice. A light garlic aroma and a pinch of cayenne pepper add zest. This versatile dish is served cold with pita, crackers, bread or fresh vegetables. Hummus perfectly complements any feast, serves as a great snack and can be used as a spread for sandwiches. It is not only tasty but also rich in plant protein, healthy fats and fiber, making it an indispensable element of a healthy diet.
