Hummus is an Arabic word which means chickpeas. It is a dip or spread which can be eat either with raw fresh vegetables or with any kind of sandwiches, pita bread or something fried.
Hummus is an oldest food that can be traced back to the old Egyptian age. It tastes different in different places as one can use various ingredients to make this spread.
I am giving you the recipe of Hummus with roasted garlic, which is very easy to make.
Ingredients: 1 cup chickpeas (keep it in water overnight and use when it becomes soft); 2 tablespoon roasted garlic; 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice; 1 tablespoon olive oil; 1/2 teaspoon oregano (or ajwain, I think this will also do fine instead of oregano).
Method: In a blender put all the ingredients and blends until it becomes a paste of thick consistency. If required add one more spoon of olive oil.
As the hummus looks very bland, always add some chopped parsley leaves (or chopped coriander leaves)with it, spread some red chilli flakes on it and serve it in a very colorful dish. It not only needs to taste good, it needs to look good and attractive at the same time.
You can preserve it in your refrigerator for 2-3 days in an air-tight container.
