In Arabic, hummus just means chickpeas. So sometimes when we say hummus we’re talking about the dip I’m sharing today and sometimes we’re talking about the chickpea itself - it really just depends on the context.
I’m a traditionalist. I love to learn the true recipes as they were intended to be made before I start playing around with new flavors, or ideas. It’s the best way to establish a strong foundation.
Overall, hummus is a very easy dish to make but one note is that technique and patience matter. If you try to rush this, you won’t get the result you’re looking for. So, take your time, be patient, and I promise you’ll make an incredible batch of hummus every single time.
