METHOD OF COOKING
- Soak the chickpeas in cold water overnight or for at least 8 hours. The water should be several centimeters higher than the chickpeas.
- Drain the water and rinse the chickpeas well. Fill it with clean water and cook on low heat for 1.5-2 hours until the grains become soft. 10 minutes before the end of cooking, add a little salt.
- Well-cooked chickpeas should spring easily when pressed.
TAHINI
- Place the sesame seeds on a heated pan and fry, stirring occasionally, over medium heat until slightly golden.
- Grind the cooled seeds in a blender, add oil and salt, continue to beat until smooth. You should get a slightly runny paste.
- Put the tahini in a blender, add the juice of a whole lemon, olive oil, salt and cumin, beat lightly. By whisking in the tahini first, you make the sesame paste creamier. Then add chickpeas in parts and beat with a blender to a homogeneous consistency.
- In the process, add a little liquid in which the chickpeas were cooked. You should get a thick creamy paste. It can be salted to taste.
