Hummus with Freshly Milled Chickpea Flour
Use chickpea flour to make your own hummus!
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup dried chickepeas this will mill to about 1 cup of chickpea flour. Also known as garbanzo beans!
- 3 garlic cloves unpeeled
- 2 cups water
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Follow your grain mill's instructions and mill 2/3 cup of dried chickpeas (Garbanzo beans) to make a fine flour.
- Heat dry skillet over medium heat and cook unpeeled garlic for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown on all sides and softened. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Then remove the skins.
- In a medium pan, add 2 cups of water and 3/4 cup chickpea flour (you may have some left over from milling). Whisk together and bring to a boil. Once boiling add a pinch of salt and pepper.
- When chickpea flour mixture is boiling, lower heat to a simmer. Simmer for about 5-7 minutes until it has thickened up like a pudding. Stir frequently.
- When thickened, remove from heat and allow to cool. I usually place this in my freezer for about 30 minutes.
- In a food processor, add all of the flour mixture, peeled garlic cloves, tahini, lemon juice, and olive oil. Process until smooth and everything is incorporated.
- Add whatever other ingredients you like and serve! Although you can serve immediately, I do prefer to eat it the next day because it is much more flavorful!
