Mikaela South's video: My favorite hummus recipe

In this video, I'm making HUMMUS! The recipe is from Yotam Ottolenghi's cookbook, Plenty! Plenty, Cookbook: https://amzn.to/2u9INKu Recipe & Notes: 2 1/2 cups dried chickpeas 1 1/2 tbsp baking soda 1 1/4 cups tahini paste (for some reason I didn't capture this part in the video, but it's in there!) 3 tbsp lemon juice 6 garlic cloves, crushed salt Directions: Soak the chickpeas overnight. Place chickpeas in a bowl and cover them with cold water. Add 1 tablespoon baking soda to the chickpeas. Cover and set aside. The next day, drain chickpeas and rinse.Place soaked chickpeas and remaining baking soda in a medium saucepan. Cover chickpeas with double the volume of cold water. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 2-3 hours until soft and mushy. Drain chickpeas saving some of the liquid in a bowl for later. Transfer the warm chickpeas into a food processor (I used a Vitamix). Add the tahini, lemon juice, garlic and 1 teaspoon salt. Pulse until totally smooth (if you notice the mixture is too thick. then add the chickpea liquid until the hummus blends smoothly). I like to add a big spoonful at a time to avoid it becoming too runny.Taste and add more salt or lemon as needed. Hummus can be served warm or cold. I love to serve hummus in a bowl drizzled with olive oil and fresh parsley. I want to add black olives next time I make it! Create a veggie platter with cucumbers, carrots, cherry tomatoes, crackers.... whatever you like! Have fun with it and enjoy! (I can eat this by the spoonful!) *The recipe says it can be kept in the fridge for up to two days SUBSCRIBE: Mikaela South YouTube: http://bit.ly/2s8GuEC WEBSITE: www.mikaela-south.com FOLLOW: Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/mikaelasouth/ Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/mikaelasouth
