I recently bought some very expensive raw tahini to make something. of course I forgot what it was. So today I was inspired to make some hummus. Hummus is made with chickpeas that are usually roasted. When I went to Whole Foods today I bought a 4oz thing of sprouted chickpeas. Lots of raw hummus recipes use all kinds of substitues for chickpeas (garbanzo beans,) and I wanted to find one with the real thing. I ended up finding a couple videos on youtube that were ok. In the end I just kinda freestyled my own thing. Here goes: Through 4oz of sprouted chickpeas in the food processor. Added some olive oil. added some salt. added 1 clove of garlic. I could have probably added more, but I don't like a really strong garlic taste. Added a couple spoons of raw tahini. I blended it as much as I could. I kept adding additional water and oil until I got the consistency I wanted. Sprinkled some paprika on top and ate with some raw crackers I made in the dehydrator. More on those another time. I'll have some salad later and this hummus will go nicely on top.
