Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sprouted chickpeas made using 1/3 cup/60 grams dried chickpea sprouting seeds (or sub 1 tin canned chickpeas, drained)
  • 0.5 ounces fresh dill roughly chopped (approx 1/2 cup loosely packed)
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice approx 2 medium lemons
  • 2 tsp lemon zest approx 2 medium lemons
  • 1 large garlic clove finely minced (omit for garlic free hummus)
  • 3 tbsp filtered water or to desired consistency

Instructions

To Sprout Chickpeas

  • Add 1/3 cup/60 grams of dried chickpea sprouting seeds to a sprouting jar and fill the jar fully with filtered water. Leave to soak for 12 hours.
  • After 12 hours, drain the water, then rinse by filling the jar and draining it completely again. 
  • Leave the chickpeas in a sprouting jar at room temperature inverted on a drip tray and covered with a tea towel. 
  • Rinse and drain the chickpeas twice per day (first thing in the morning and in the evening).
  • Repeat this process for 2-4 days. Sprouted chickpeas are ready when a white root that is at least the same size as the pod (approx 1/4 inch long) has grown from the top of each one.
  • After a final rinse and drain transfer the chickpeas to a tray lined with a tea towel or unbleached kitchen towel to dry completely. Remove any unsprouted chickpeas. 
  • The chickpeas can now be used to make hummus. Measure out 1 cup/120 grams of sprouted chickpeas to be used in the recipe.

To Make Lemon Dill Hummus

  • Place all the ingredients in a food processor and blend on high for 2-3 minutes, or until a smooth mixture is formed, scraping down the sides of the food processor when needed.
  • Transfer to a bowl and serve or store.
