A Tribute To Hummus

We couldn’t let international hummus day slip by without a doff of the cap to the mother of all dips.

Here’s the perfect recipe to mark the occasion:  Yotam Ottolenghi’s recipe from 2013’s Jerusalem cookbook with Sami Tamimi.  Once you make hummus from scratch – you’ll never go back.

According to the New York Times, this recipe has an unorthodox but helpful addition:  baking soda to hurry along the chickpeas.   The baking soda will soften them, meaning less time on the stove and smoother, creamier dip.  They recommend serving with fresh pita, chopped olives and pine nuts. Short of a hummus crawl through Israel with the “chickpea whisperer” this is as good as hummus gets.
