RecipesChickpea spread (hummus)
Sometimes chickpea spread, sometimes hummus, but it's always the same dish. Chickpeas are an absolutely wonderful food. They are among the highest quality legumes, so it’s surprising that they were overlooked for a long time. Sugars, proteins, and fiber, but also calcium, iron, and vitamin B15 – this is the nutrition your body gets from chickpeas. Chickpea spread, or hummus, can be prepared in larger quantities as it lasts a few days in the fridge. Chickpeas and their recipes are also very numerous, so there is really a lot to choose from. Tahini paste (sesame paste) combined with cumin reliably transforms into an irresistible combination. You can find tahini paste in any larger supermarket or health food store. Chickpea recipes are simply in vogue today. We bring you a recipe for chickpea spread, which you can enjoy with homemade olive bread, or have it with whatever you like.
