People with fructose malabsorption need to be a bit careful with this delicious spread. It contains a relatively high amount of fructose and should only be eaten in small amounts.

Last year, I also used hummus spread (besides Austrian Liptauer Cheese Spread and Egg Salad) as a dip for my Christmas charcuterie board.

🥘 Ingredients

• Chickpeas
• Onion - red
• Garlic clove
• Extra virgin olive oil
• Fresh parsley
• Lemon juice - freshly squeezed
• Tahini (sesame mousse)
• Herb salt
• Black pepper

See the recipe card for quantities.

🔪 Instructions

Sieve the chickpeas through a close-meshed sieve to get rid of the chickpea liquid, and rinse them under cold running water until they no longer foam. 

After rinsing, set the chickpeas aside. 

Now peel the onion and garlic clove and put both in your high-powered blender. Chop the onion and garlic and put both in a small saucepan.

Now sauté the onion and garlic until translucent. 

Why sauté the onion until translucent?

This has several reasons: On the one hand, the onion's aroma develops better. It tastes a little sweeter and is not so intrusive. Furthermore, it is better digestible by sautéing, which your body will thank you!

Once done, add the prepared chickpeas and heat them while stirring. 

Now you need your blender again. First, add the parsley and chop it. Then add all the other ingredients, including spices and cooked chickpeas, to the blender and blend until smooth.

Season to taste and serve with a slice of naan after it has cooled. Check out this delicious homemade naan recipe (created by easyindiancookbook.com).
