Sastojci: 250 g kuvanih leblebija, 50 ml svežeg limunovog soka, 60 ml tahini, 1 mali čen belog luka, mlevenog, 2 kašike ekstra devičanskog maslinovog ulja, plus još za serviranje, ½ kašičice mlevenog kumina, prstohvat soli, 2 do 3 kašike hladne vode.

Priprema:

0. Skuvati leblebije.

1. U procesoru za hranu ili blenderu pomešajte tahini i limunov sok i blendajte 1 minut. Ostružite stranice i dno posude, a zatim blendajte još 30 sekundi, dok ne postane glatko i kremasto.

2. Dodajte maslinovo ulje, mleveni beli luk, kumin i so u tahini. Blendirajte 30 sekundi, ostružite stranice i dno posude, a zatim blendajte još 30 sekundi ili dok se dobro ne sjedini.

3. Dodajte polovinu leblebija u blender i blendajte 1 minut. Ostružite stranice i dno posude, zatim dodajte preostale leblebije i blendirajte ih dok ne postanu gusto i relativno glatko, 1 do 2 minuta.

Biće mrvica leblebija.

4. Polako dodajte 2 do 3 kašike hladne vode u processor hrane ili blender dok ne postignete željenu konzistenciju.

5. Poprskajte sa malo maslinovog ulja i posluziti.

Napomene: 

• Humus čuvajte u hermetički zatvorenoj posudi i frižideru do 5 dana.
• Ako i dalje nije kremast, dodajte 1 kašiku maslinovog ulja. Zatim blendirajte.
• Ako i dalje nije kremast, dodajte 1 kašiku hladne vode i blendirajte.

Za decu od 6 do 12 godina promeniti:

• Beli luk: ½ malog čena ili ga potpuno izostaviti ako dete ne voli intenzivan ukus.
• Sok od limuna: 30 ml umesto 50 ml, da ukus bude blaži i manje kiseo.
• Kumin: ¼ kašičice ili samo prstohvat, jer ima dosta izražen ukus.
• So: vrlo malo ili bez dodatka soli, naročito ako se hummus služi uz slan hleb, krekere ili sir.
• Maslinovo ulje: 1–2 kašike u samom hummusu su sasvim dovoljne; dodatno ulje za serviranje nije neophodno.

Može se poslužiti uz integralni hleb, tortilje, tost, kifle, lepinje, somune, slane kroasane, pita hleb, štapiće od šargarepe ili drugog povrca ili kao namaz za sendvic.

Ingredients: 250 g cooked chickpeas, 50 ml fresh lemon juice, 60 ml tahini, 1 small garlic clove, minced, 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for serving, ½ teaspoon ground cumin, pinch of salt, 2 to 3 tablespoons of water.

Needed: food processor or high power blender.

Preparation:

0. Cook chickpeas.

1. In a food processor or blender combine the tahini and lemon juice and process for 1 minute. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl, then process for 30 seconds more, until smooth and creamy.

2. Add the olive oil, minced garlic, cumin and salt to tahini. Blend for 30 seconds, scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl, and then blend for another 30 seconds or until well blended.

3. Add half of the chickpeas to the food processor or blender and process for 1 minute. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl, then add the remaining chickpeas and blend them until thick and relatively smooth, 1 to 2 minutes.

There will be crumbles of chickpeas.

4. Slowly add 2 to 3 tablespoons of cold water to the food processor or blender until you reach the perfect consistency.

5. Serve with a drizzle of olive oil.

Notes: 

• Store hummus in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 5 days. 
• If still not creamy add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Then blend.
• If still not creamy add 1 tablespoon of cold water and blend.

For children aged 6 to 12, change:

• Garlic: ½ small clove or omit it completely if the child does not like the intense taste.
• Lemon juice: 30 ml instead of 50 ml, to make the taste milder and less sour.
• Cumin: ¼ teaspoon or just a pinch, because it has a very pronounced taste.
• Salt: very little or no added salt, especially if the hummus is served with salty bread or salty dough, salty crackers or cheese.
• Olive oil: 1–2 tablespoons in the hummus itself is quite enough; additional oil for serving is not necessary.

It can be served with wholemeal bread, tortillas, toast, rolls, buns, flatbreads, savory croissants, pita bread, carrot sticks or other vegetables, or as a sandwich spread.
