Hummus, here’s a appetizer that goes with everything and allows you to combine it with all the ingredients and/or dishes that come your way. Knowing that Mercadona hummus is one of the richest (and cheapest) on the market, today we propose a trip to the Middle East without leaving home. This recipe teaches us how to make homemade chickpea hummus easier, tastier and faster.
Although today there are countless versions such as lentil, beetroot or pesto hummus, this traditional recipe and original we find it second to none. The key (to success) is in its texture: with a powerful robot it will be very easy to achieve, although we can always prepare it with an arm blender.
To start, we will wash the chickpeas well after removing their canning liquid. Drain and put them in the food processor glass. Add the peeled garlic clove (TRICK: if we remove the germ it will be softer), sesame, cumin, salt, lemon juice and water.
We are going to crush the entire mixture until we obtain a semi-homogeneous mass (just before adding the extra virgin olive oil). When we add it, we will continue grinding the mixture until we obtain a creamy mixture. If we add a bit of natural yogurt, we will add much more creaminess to the final mixture. This way of making hummus is found in many Lebanese restaurants, however it is an optional step.
We can adjust the point of thickness by adding a little more water and/or oil (the consistency of hummus is personal, so we can keep testing until we achieve what we are looking for). When serving, add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, assorted seeds and sweet paprika.

With what to accompany the homemade chickpea hummus
Tradition dictates that the best way to accompany this hummus is with lightly toasted and warm pita bread. However, over time, new ways of accompanying it have appeared, such as crudités (a very healthy option) -although we can also accompany it with a good loaf of bread from an artisan bakery-.
However, hummus can serve as an accompaniment to a tasty avocado toast. Some people prefer to serve it with chopped olives on top or toasted chickpeas in the air fryer -that is up to everyone’s taste.
