Hummus is a classic dish likely originating from mid-eastern cultures. This recipe incorporates entirely raw ingredients for a truly healthy, delicious taste.

Ingredients

• 2 cups chickpeas
• ⅓ cup sesame seeds
• 3 cloves garlic
• ¼ white onion
• 1 peeled lemon
• ⅓ cup sun-dried tomato
• 5 tablespoons agave syrup
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons ground cumin
• 3 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 1 pinch paprika
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Procedure

1. Soak chickpeas for 12–24 hours then let sprout for 1–2 days. Make sure to rinse three times a day while sprouting.
2. Combine all ingredients except olive oil, paprika, and fresh parsley in a blender or food processor, and purée until smooth. Refrigerate for best taste.
3. Sprinkle hummus with olive oil, paprika, and parsley when serving.

Notes, tips, and variations

• For a spicy taste you may add roasted red chili pepper or a dash of cayenne pepper.
• Adding fresh parsley and paprika along with drizzling olive oil over the hummus really takes it over the top.
• You may serve with pita bread for dipping. Chips or fresh vegetables compliment nicely as well.
