HASA AL HUMMUS -- MOROCCAN CHICKPEA SOUP



Hasa Al Hummus -- Moroccan Chickpea Soup image

Hasa Al Hummus is a wonderful Moroccan vegetarian soup for a comforting winter warmer. Morocco adores her soups though there are not a million varieties. Many recipes online may taste good though are faux or Moroccan "style" soups. I can guarantee that from me what you get is completely authentic Moroccan fare. I owe this to those interested in Moroccan food/cooking that is authentic. This is a very simple basic soup as most Moroccan foods are. Go to a touristy, especially a fancy one, spot and you will get French food with Moroccan influences; not how we eat every day. We eat Moroccan food perhaps with a French influence or two though never vice versa. My housemaid Nasiha who is approximately 60 taught me this recipe. I say approximately as many in Morocco do not know their birthday. Whip this up like we do and enjoy! In a pinch you can use canned chickpeas. They are acceptable, merely omit the first cooking hour. As an aside, here, hummus is the word for chickpea, not the dip/spread.

Time 2h20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup dried garbanzo beans, soaked overnight
8 cups water
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 cups onions, chopped
2 tomatoes, peeled and diced (optional)
8 garlic cloves, minced
1 small hot pepper, chopped finely
1/2 cup fresh coriander, leaf chopped finely
1/2 cup fresh flat leaf parsley, chopped finely
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon fresh black pepper
1 lemon, juiced
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon ground turmeric

Steps:

  • In a soup pot combine the chickpeas and water and bring to a rolling boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium and cook 1 hour.
  • While the beans are cooking, heat the oil in a skillet and sauté the onions, garlic, and hot pepper (we use a small straight pickled hot pepper from a jar) until they barely take on color; very slightly browned.
  • Add the mixture and the remainder of the ingredients to the soup pot and simmer 1 hour or until the chickpeas are soft. You don't want a "bite" to the chickpeas but firm and creamy.
  • NB: The preparation time does not include soaking the chickpeas.

AUTHENTIC HUMMUS



Authentic Hummus image

Categories     Beans

Time 10m

Yield 2 1/4 cups, 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 -2 garlic clove (use smoked garlic if you can get it)
3 tablespoons tahini
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 (16 ounce) cans garbanzo beans, which equals about two cups drained (chick peas)
1 lemon, juice of, only
1/3 cup water
1 -2 tablespoon olive oil
paprika (optional)
parsley, chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Drain and rinse garbanzos. Do NOT use can juices for the liquid in this recipe. They 'muddy' the flavour of the end result.
  • Put garlic, tahini and salt in a blender or food processor and buzz until ingredients are well mixed (10-15 seconds).
  • Add garbanzo beans (one can at a time) and blend after each addition. You can reserve a few whole beans for garnish.
  • Add lemon juice and blend.
  • Add as much water as you need for the consistency you like. I usually use it all, unless the lemon is ultra juicy.
  • Spread hummus on a flat plate. Create a bowl shape by elevating the edges with hummus.
  • Drizzle olive oil over the hummus, sprinkle with paprika and garnish with reserved whole beans and chopped parsley.
  • Serve with flat Arabic bread. It's nice to toast the bread lightly in the oven.
