Preserved Lemon Hummus image

I am a hummus fiend and I like coming up for new versions. I had a jar of preserved lemons in my fridge and decided to give my latest hummus recipe an extra Middle Eastern feel. I originally made this recipe for my vegetarian food blog at weekendcarnivore.com .

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (14 ounce) can chickpeas, drained but the liquid reserved

3 garlic cloves
2 preserved lemons, including the pulp, roughly chopped
3 tablespoons reserved chickpea juice
fresh ground pepper, to taste
sea salt, to taste, if required
fresh parsley and lemon zest, to garnish

Steps:

  • Put the chickpeas, tahini, garlic and preserved lemons into a blender or food processor.
  • Blitz in short bursts, pushing the mixture down when needed until everything is combined.
  • Add the chickpea juice and mix for a few more seconds. If you want it less thick you can always add more of the juice.
  • Taste a bit and decide if you need to add any salt. If you do add the salt and pepper. If not, just the pepper and mix for a couple seconds.
  • Roughly chop parsley and zest a lemon.
  • Serve topped with the parsley and lemon.
