Hi, my name is Nina. Today I'm gonna show you how to make hummus. We have friends coming over later, so I'm gonna prepare some hummus, and I have already cooked the quinoa salad. Hummus I always make from scratch. I bought a bag of chickpeas, and then I soak maybe a little bit in the bowl overnight. You can see there's still water in there. Wash it. I like to wash my beans. So the water is half boiled oil. It's actually pretty hot. I could put the chickpeas in there. The hummus is very healthy and it's yummy. I like the taste, the taste of the hummus. I always eat the hummus with cucumber. I cut the cucumber up in a stick and I dip it into the hummus or carrot. You can also get tortilla chips. And crackers if you want. And, um, chickpeas. It has 35% iron. Woman need iron. Why do women need iron? Because they're always low in iron. Do you really want to go into details, babe? So we're gonna wait for chickpeas to cook. I mean, to boil and to cook. And then, um, I'll show you how to blend it up later. How I know when it's ready is I take one chickpea out, eat it, or you press it down with your fingers. This is Rachel, our friend who is joining us to the party, and she just got back from England. England. And what did you do in England? Archaeology. Discovering the— Yes, ancient Greek civilization. Okay, cool. So, um, chippy stand. I'm gonna pour the water out. Okay, so I'm gonna have Rachel to put some chippies in here, about, let's say, about maybe 14, 14 ounces. One has escaped. It's okay. One more, and then I think we're at about 14 ounces. We're gonna put 2 tablespoons of tahina. It's oily. Frequently used in Greek cuisine. Yeah, isn't hummus a Greek snack? Yeah. Yes, very frequently. All around the Mediterranean, the Eastern Mediterranean. We bought this garlic, minced garlic from Costco. I don't like chopping the garlic. It's too much work. So this is easy to use. So 1 teaspoon. I love garlic. The next ingredient will be the cumin sauce. About 1 tablespoon, 1 teaspoon too. 1 teaspoon. Usually it's 1 teaspoon, but I always— I really like the taste. I always put more than 1 teaspoon in my hummus. There we are. Yep. And then just to taste for salt, maybe half a teaspoon, just to taste. And then this is the paprika powder. It will be 1 teaspoon too. Very carefully. And then I will add some, what do you call those, the water from the juice from the chickpeas. Or you can use water, but I'm gonna use this. Oops, more shouting. About, let's see, I don't have enough chickpea juice, so I'll add a little bit water. About half of like 8 ounces or 9 ounces is fine. Okay, and then we're gonna blend it up. This is our Vitamix. We love our Vitamix. We use this for the smoothies. I think we might have to add a little bit more water because it's still too dry. Well, at least it doesn't look dry. It's delicious, Nina. Mm-hmm, yummy. Then I'm gonna make it a little bit prettier. I'm gonna add some paprika sauce on the top in the middle. Oh, here you go. I'm gonna cut up some cucumbers. Rachel. Thank you very much. I'm so excited to try this. It looks delicious. You should stay low. Okay. Cheers! Oh, it's warm. Yeah, of course, I told you it's still warm. Mm, it's good though. Mm-hmm. Yummy. Now try. Really good. Thanks. Mm, it's so creamy. Is it supposed to be this creamy? It is creamy. It's always creamy. Okay, thank you for watching this video.
