Easy Hummus with Alexandra’s Pikliz

Ingredient

• 300 g canned chick pea
• 60 ml tahini
• 60 ml freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 3 cloves of garlic
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 2 tbsp aquafaba or water
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp ground pepper
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• salt to taste
• 3 tbsp Alexandra’s Pikliz

Steps

1. In food processor, add in well-stirred tahini and lemon juice and process for 90 seconds. Pause every 30 seconds and scrap down the side before continuing.
2. Add garlic, oil,  cumin, pepper, paprika, and salt and continue to process for another 90 seconds. Pause every 30 seconds and scrap down the side before continuing again.
3. Drain the chickpea water (aquafaba), reserve on the side, as you will need it later.
4. Rinse chickpea and add into the food process. Continue to process until it reaches a consistency that you like - remember to pause and scrap after 30 seconds. Here I have processed it for 2 min, smooth but with a slight texture.
5. Add in Alexandra’s Pikliz and lightly pulse several time.
6. Serve with some extra olive oil, pepper flakes and more Alexandra’s Pikliz ! Goes great with pitas, veggies or as it is!
