trio de hummus

What's up today?

Yesterday I made those three different kinds of hummus.

•  The green one = basil wasabi hummus (yes I finally made it!)
•  The yellow one = ras el hanout hummus
•  The red one = paprika hummus

It's very easy to make your own hummus, you only need a blender. I made a mix of split peas and chickpeas. You have to let them soak a whole night in water (it's crazy to see how much they rise). Then you cook it and let it boil for half an hour something like that, just taste it to see if it's cooked. 

The basil, wasabi, tahini for the first one. 

The chickpeas, split peas, basil (handful), tahini (1 teaspoon), lemon (to taste), wasabi (to taste) and I used 2 teaspoons of rapeseed oil (instead of olive oil) because it contains some extra omega 3! I forgot the (essential) garlic, so make you sure you don't forget it. Some salt and pepper, and you mix itttttt. Oh yes, when you cooked your peas, keep the cooking water and use it also in your hummus otherwise it will be to thick.  

This was the result. Next time I'll put some more wasabi paste in it, because you could smell it but not taste it quite enough.

 For the next one, I grilled the paprika in the oven until the skin cracked. Then you peel it off and slice it. I mixed half of the paprika with the peas, garlic, the peas' cooking water, olive oil, coriander, lemon juice, tahini, salt and pepper. The amount of ingredients you put in it is always to taste. 

Then I put the rest of the sliced paprika on your hummus.

The next one I made was with the Ras El Hanout powder. It's a mix of different spices; curry, curcuma, cinnamon, fennel, ... Very characteristic of tajines. 

Same thing; mix the peas, the cooking water, olive oil, some garlic, tahini, lemon juice, ras el hanout, salt and pepper together. 

Easy, isn't it? 

That was a good Sunday lunch ;-)

See you !
