Hummus!

OK! There are various ways of making Hummus it's even a competition between country's such as Lebanon and Israel's competition for whom makes the best hummus. I had the privilege to have tried both and I prefer the Lebanese hummus. But I will share with you the recipe I've been making for the last years and I can tell you that both Lebanese as Israeli friends  like it. So make it and try it yourself! Enjoy!

Ingredients:
1 can of chickpeas of 250g
1 full spoon of tahin (sesame paste)
2 garlic pieces
1cm of a Spanish pepper
sea salt
olive oil

Remove the add paper from the outside of the chickpeas can, hen open it and put the peas in the can on a small fire and let it cook until it starts to boil. Remove the can from the fire and take the water out and put the chickpeas into a blender together with the pepper, garlic, tahin and a pinch of salt. Add slowly in to the mixture while mixing it some olive oil until the mixture is like a thick yogurt. Remove the mixture from the blender put into a bowl pour a little bit more of oil on it and a branch of coriander. Serve it with some flat bread!

Enjoy!

Specially for Frank R! Indian puri bread! (picture will follow)

Ingredients:


1 1/3 of a cup of wheat flour
1/2 spoon of sea salt
2/3 of a cup of water


Put the salt and flour in a bowl. And mix it very well. In the center of the mixture make a hole and add the water bit by bit until you get a good dough. If necessary add more water.
Mix the dough until it's soft and elastic. Form a ball with the mixture and leave it covered for 15 minutes.
Then cut in 10 equal balls and with a kitchen curler make little circles out of the 10 balls.
In a fry pan pre heated with sunflower oil, fry the circles one by one. Make sure the oil is very hot. It takes just a few seconds. Then take of and put on a plate covered with kitchen paper to absorb the extra oil.


Enjoy!
