Equipment

  • Food processor with an s-blade.
  • Spatula.
  • Tablespoon.
  • Small bowl
  • Paring knife.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup (130g) fresh sprouted chickpeas
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 4 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 large garlic clove
  • 3-4 tablespoons water
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin.
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Garnish (optional).

  • a pinch very finely chopped fresh parsley.
  • a pinch sumac

Instructions
 

  • Add the fresh chickpea sprouts with the remaining ingredients (excluding the water) to a food processor with an S-blade and blend until smooth. Pause blending occasionally to scrape down the mixture from the sides with a spatula.

  • Loosen the hummus gradually by adding the water 1 tablespoon at a time during this process to help it turn nice and creamy. Be careful not to add too much water, or you'll end up with a dressing. I typically blend for 3-4 minutes overall.
    3-4 tablespoons water
  • Pour your sprouted hummus into a suitable container and decorate it with fresh herbs, a sprinkle of sumac and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil (optional) to serve.
    a pinch very finely chopped fresh parsley., a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, a pinch sumac
  • Store any leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days in a lidded container.

Notes

Once refrigerated, the hummus will thicken slightly overnight.
Other tasty garnishes options include:
  • A light dusting of sweet or smoked paprika, turmeric or coriander 
  • Sprinkle with finely chopped herbs such as coriander, parsley or mint for vibrant green colour and freshness
  • Microgreens or sprouts, e.g. alfalfa or broccoli sprouts
  • A pinch of sesame seeds, pine nuts or a few sprouted chickpeas.
