The Classic Hummus

This classic Middle Eastern dip is one of the dishes that I personally enjoy with the extra drizzle of the amazing olive oil. It can be eaten as is or with Pita or even the normal toasted bread makes a good company. Here goes the way I made it.

Ingredients

For blending

2 cups of chick peas soaked overnight and pressure cooked to 2 whistles/according to your cooker, I add a bit of edible soda and salt to it
1/2 cup olive oil
10 cloves of garlic roughly crushed
3 tbsp of tahini (sauce made with white sesame seeds and olive oil)
Juice of one lemon

For the garnishing
A few sprigs of parsley
Olives for garnishing
Olive oil for drizzling

Method
Blend all the above ingredients for blending in a blender, check and add salt if need be, transfer to a serving bowl and smoothen the  surface of the paste with a spatula, drizzle olive oil and garnish with olive pieces and parsley. I could not get hold of it, so not there in my dish!! I like paprika or chilli powder is an option too. Now dip the bread of your choice and enjoy.
