Istruzioni

1. 1

   Preparare

   Prepara gli ingredienti.

   The longer you soak, the faster they cook and the creamier the result.

2. 2

   Cuocere

   Cuoci a fuoco medio fino al completamento.

   Do not salt the cooking water; salt toughens the skins and slows cooking.

3. 3

   Condire

   Condisci con sale e pepe.

   Peeling is optional but makes a noticeable difference in texture.

4. 4

   Servire

   Servi caldo.

   This technique is called 'whitening the tahini' and dramatically improves texture.

5. 5

   Add chickpeas and blend

   Add the warm chickpeas to the food processor (reserve a few for garnish). Process for 4–5 minutes, adding ice water a tablespoon at a time, until you have an ultra-smooth, almost mousse-like consistency. Adjust salt and lemon to taste.

   Keep scraping down the sides. The longer you blend, the smoother the result.

6. 6

   Plate and serve

   Spread the hummus on a wide flat plate, making a well in the center with the back of a spoon. Drizzle generously with olive oil, scatter the reserved whole chickpeas, dust with paprika, and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve with warm pita bread.
