For the first time in Traditional Market, I found fresh chickpeas and I immediately bought a kilo. Since I've seen SBD Recipes use a lot of chickpeas. The first recipe I adapted from is Hummus. Since, it's fresh I boiled them first for about 5 minutes.
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/4 cup tahini (sesame paste)
1/4 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
salt and pepper to taste
chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Drain the chickpeas, reserving 1/4 cup of the liquid. Combine chickpeas, lime juice, tahini, onion, garlic, oil, cumin, pepper, and salt in a blender. Puree until smooth, adding the chickpeas liquid if needed to thin the puree. Refrigerate to chill at least 3 hours before serving to blend the flavors. Garnish with parsley (optional).
Since I'm the only one eating it, there's more left-over! I made it into pasta sauce, just added parmesan cheese, and roasted garlic.Place on top of any kinds of noodles... garnish it with fresh basil... A meal!
So creamy and yummy!

I make hummus regularly, I love it but some times I get a bit carried away with too much garlic in it:) I love it but others may not! Diane
I will have to look out for some fresh chickpeas! Your hummus looks so fresh and creamy.
Thanks for visiting my blog. It is good to see you there as a welcome foodie.
I buy hummus and it does seem silly. I can do this with a little effort or I can, at least try.
Looks yum...I have to try this.
I love hummus. I never thought about using it for anything other than dip. I will have to try it on pasta.
Your hummus looks wonderful. I've only ever had chickpeas out of a can - fresh must be amazing! I had never thought of using it hummus on pasta either. Great idea!!
This looks SO good! I've never put these two things together but I can see why they must be yummy!
