Today
I made hummus using sprouted garbanzo beans. It was pretty easy. Since
I didn't sprout the beans myself, I wasn't worried about them tasting
bitter from not having been sprouted for the proper length of time. I
did soak them in water for the day just in case that might make them
softer. When I returned home, the beans has increased in size a bit,
and had soaked up a lot of the water.
I threw them (16 oz) into
the food processor and pureed them, then added some tahini, olive oil ,
3 cloves of garlic, salt and lime juice. It took a lot of trial and
error before getting a taste that wasn't strongly "raw bean". The
garlic and salt helped, but I added some of my berebere African spice
mix and really liked that effect. The texture isn't too bad. The olive
oil really helped to make it creamier by taking away some of the grainy
texture. I didn't measure anything- just did it by taste. To make sure
I hadn't forgotten anything, I tasted my hummus from Whole Foods and
decided I liked mine even better! So now I've finally made mostly-raw
hummus. I say mostly-raw because I can't ensure that the tahini I put
in it wasn't cooked in some way. It's always something, isn't it?BREAKFAST
