Hummus 2

Hummus, a staple dish of Middle Eastern cuisine, has a history dating back centuries. Originating from the region spanning from Lebanon to Palestine, this chickpea puree has been a basic food in the Mediterranean and Arab diet. In different Latin American countries, although it is not as traditional, it is simply known as hummus or sometimes called chickpea puree, and it has gained popularity due to its delicious flavor and nutritional value. The recipe has evolved with local variations in seasonings and accompaniments, and it has become a healthy and versatile option for many people.

Hummus is traditionally prepared with chickpeas, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil, but in this version called Hummus 2, we incorporate a mixture of fresh herbs and seeds to give it a unique and aromatic touch. It also offers the possibility of substituting the chickpeas with large white beans for an interesting variation.
