Humus

Photo: Ispahan

Ingredients

1 tin Cheekpeas (450 g)

4 tablespoons Tahin

1 small orange

Drain the chickpeas in a colander and squeeze one lemon + 1 small orange and reserve the juice.

Roast about 20 g pine nuts in a pan until they turn slightly brown and start to deliberate a delicious odour

Now you mix together 450 g chickpeas, 4 Tablespoons Tahin and the juice from ½ lemon in a blender until you obtain a smooth paste

Season with salt and pepper and add more Tahin or lemon juice regarding your taste.

Top the Humus with the roasted pine nuts and drizzle some olive oil over it.

If possible prepare the humus one day before you intend to eat it. I find that the Humus takes than better the flavour from the pine nuts.)
