Candied lemon hummus for even more delicate flavors
Candied lemon hummus for even more delicate flavors
At aperitif time, we love to prepare hummus. An easy recipe to make and express thanks to our best friend: the blender ;-) And to add even more flavors, we integrate candied lemons. You will see that their delicate flavors will bring a touch of freshness and delicacy to your aperitif! And don't forget the vegetable sticks or pita bread to accompany your hummus ;-)
Drain your chickpeas and place them in a blender while keeping a few for decoration.
Add tahini, minced garlic, the flesh of the candied lemon, olive oil, curry, salt, pepper, juice of half a lemon and mix until you obtain a smooth mixture.
Taste and adjust ingredients as needed (especially curry, salt, pepper and lemon juice).
Place your hummus in a bowl, sprinkle it with chickpeas, add a drizzle of olive oil, sesame seeds and voila! Enjoy your food !

What is tahini? It's sesame seed puree. You can find it in organic stores and supermarkets, either in the "spread" section or in the "world products" section.
Is hummus a vegetarian/vegan recipe? Absolutely ! Hummus is also very rich in vegetable proteins thanks to the chickpeas! It is therefore a recipe that can easily be integrated into a vegetarian or vegan diet.
Is hummus good for your health? Oh yeah ! Not only does it contain vegetable proteins as mentioned above, but it is also very rich in fiber, which will greatly help your digestive system on a daily basis. It is also rich in vitamins and minerals and will be one of your allies for good health.
What can I replace the candied lemon with? You can replace it with the juice of 1 lemon.
How to eat hummus? Hummus can be enjoyed as an aperitif with vegetable sticks (carrot, cucumber, zucchini, radish, etc.) or crisps. It can also be added to sandwiches or accompany falafels.
How long does hummus keep? You can keep it for 4 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Can I freeze hummus? No problem ! Place it in an airtight box or a freezer bag, and place it in the freezer with a dated label.
