Been a bit obsessed with adding fresh cilantro to things lately and so a couple of weeks ago I tried it in my basic hummus recipe and it was great. Later it struck me that it would be EVEN BETTER with lime juice instead of lemon… and it was! I wasn’t sure whether to include the stems or just use the cilantro leaves – in the end I opted for the latter. It’s super delicious and so versatile. Yesterday I had it with salt & pepper chicken fried in olive oil and basmati rice, today I’m planning to have some with crudité. And of course it would be great with corn chips.
If you want really super creamy hummus consider peeling the garbanzos. To be honest this is something I would never have considered myself until I accidently discovered an easy way to peel them in just a few minutes. Check out cripsy crunchy garbanzos for the method.
