Recipe for hummus

Preparation:

Soak 500 g of chickpeas in water overnight (the chickpeas will increase their volume significantly). On the next day, drain the chickpeas and move them to a pressure cooker, adding 2 L of water. From the moment the vacuum is formed, keep cooking chickpeas for 20 more minutes Next, drain it on a strainer. Leave the water left from straining – it will come in handy when making hummus :)

Consider how many flavour versions you want to obtain and divide the chickpeas accordingly. Afterwards, move it to the blender container, add appropriate ingredients and blend everything until you receive a uniform mass. If the texture is to thick, add more water gradually. Meanwhile, if it is too runny, add more chickpeas. Move the finished spread to jars and serve it with raw vegetables cut into matchsticks or with fresh bread.

...because homemade is better!
