- 50g chicpeas (uncooked)
- 2 tbsp tahini

- 2 tbsp lime/lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 2 medium cloves garlic, smashed

- Fresh corainder/parslet to garnish with
- * Sometimes i add grilled sweet pepper or some other veggies to the hummus. It gives beautiful colour and some extra taste.
Directions
- Step 1 If possible, use dry chickpeas, they taste better than canned ones. Soak the chickpeas over night, rinse and simmer on a low heat until tender. Do not throw the boiling water away, i add that to the hummus to lighten up the texture.
- Step 2 Put chickpeas, some boiling water or regular water, olive oil, cumin, salt, garlic and lemon juice to a food processor. Puree for couple of minutes, pausing halfway to scrape down the sides of the bowl, until the hummus is smooth. If it seems too thick, add in asome more water. Puree until smooth.
- Step 3 Taste and season with additional salt, cumin, and/or lemon juice if needed.
- Step 4 Serve immediately, garnished with raw seed crackers (https://mylittleketo.com/keto-snacks/crunchy-keto-seed-crackers/), fresh vegetable chunks or some other desired toppings.
- Step 5 Store leftovers refrigerated for up to 3 days.
My name is Ingrid Joya. I am educator, coach, therapist, inspirational speaker and a mother for two gorgeous girls and one keto boy. My every day starts and ends with cooking, as inspiring and tiring as it sounds. I educate people on mindful eating and special diets (keto, low carb, gluten and caseine free etc) and provide personal consultations.
My son is on long-term ketogenic diet due to health reasons, that`s where my keto journey started. It was pretty rough in the beginning, but quite soon i realized that even very restricted diet (like keto) can be tasteful, versatile and enjoyable. I have learned that food is also our medicine, it heals our body, feeds our soul and brings us together. There is great power in every herb, flower, fruit and root, and in love we put into cooking. All together it is a playful journey from the ground to the plate.
Food, whatever kind, has to have three important components for me- it has to look good, it has to taste good and it has to be good for the body and soul! I started out writing down the recipes for me and my family, so it would be easy and fun for us to figure out what to cook tonight. Maybe you, who you are peeking through my kitchen door in this blog, will find little inspiration, too!
