Classic Hummus
Over the past couple of years, I’ve become hooked on chickpeas and all the ways you can cook them.
And my favorite chickpea recipe is hummus.
Chickpeas are incredibly nutritious and well-balanced in terms of macronutrients content. In 100g of chickpeas you will find 19g of protein and 17g of fiber.
Practically that means, that if you eat 100g of hummus with vegetables — you’ve already met your daily fiber goal!
That’s an absolutely mind-blowing value!
Hummus is a simple and quick dish, and doesn’t require any specific culinary skills at all.
Here’s a classic recipe that you can use as a base for lots of different modifications.
