Another beautiful addition to my Hummus collection is this vibrant Green Hummus made with seasonal Green Chickpeas which are readily available in winters. I especially love Green Chickpeas/ Hari Boot which I grew up eating.
It is usually a very tedious task to remove the Green Chicpeas from their shells and takes a long time. I’m so grateful that lately the supermarkets have tiny packages of shelled chickpeas readily available which saves so much of our time. I use these Green Chickpeas to make Curries, Pilaf, Soups etc.
To make this Green Chickpea Hummus, toss the Green Chickpeas in some Olive Oil and cook until tender. Add the cooked green chickpeas to a blender along with some regular boiled Chickpeas, Lime juice, Coriander leaves, Tahina, Salt and Garlic. Blend well until the Hummus is smooth and creamy. Transfer to a bowl, top with Olive Oil, Zattar and some cooked Green Chickpeas. Enjoy with crisps, or spread in in wraps and sandwiches.
