Nutritional Benefits :-
Although hummus does contain a lot of fat, it is good fat, with plenty of Omega 3 in it. It also contains important nutrients, such as iron, vitamin C, vitamin B6, manganese, and copper. It even contains folic acid, which has been found to prevent birth defects when eaten by pregnant women. In addition, hummus has a low glycemic value, which means that it doesn’t raise your glucose levels very quickly, leaving your feeling satiated for longer.
Interestingly enough, hummus also contains large amount of tryptophan, phenylalanine, and tyrosine, which are mood lifters that can also lead to a more satisfying sleep. These amino acids, along with some others that make up hummus, are essential, which means that your body cannot make them independently; you need to get them from foods instead. For all of these reasons, hummus is indeed good for you, as it is jam-packed full of vitamins, minerals, and essential amino acids.( Brighthub.com)
You will need :-
- 2 medium sized onions or 1 big( diced )
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 450 g cooked chickpeas ( I used from tin)
- 3-4 cloves Garlic
- salt per taste
- 2 tbsp tahini
- 3-4 tbsp lemon juice
- Extra liquid for consistency
Heat olive oil in a nonstick pan and add onion.Toss to coat an oil. Stir fairly frequently, for about 20-25 minutes or until onions are evenly browned and caramelized. In a blender or mixer add all the other ingredients with the caramelized onions. Add little water or oil for a smooth hummus. Blend till you achieve your desired consistency.
Serve with a thin layer of extra virgin olive oil on top, and garnish with a pinch of paprika and some caramelized Onion.
