Hummus tehina, also known as Israeli style hummus, is a popular Israeli variety of hummus, popular both in its place of origin, as well as at hummusiyas and fine dining restaurants serving Israeli cuisine abroad.[1]
Preparation
The chick peas are soaked and simmered for at least one hour, generally with baking soda added to the soaking or boiling water. Some chefs boil them for many hours, or even overnight.
The drained chickpeas are combined with tahini (up to half and half) and optionally lemon juice and garlic. Sometimes olive oil or additional spices are added.[2]
Hummus is most commonly blended in a food processor or blender. Restaurants use a special type of professional food processor. The hummus is blended for several minutes to create a light texture.
Hummus is served in a bowl or serving dish, generally with a well in the center.[3]
