My love story with Hummus :)

Hummus has been one of long time favorites, since about 8 years now- mostly since I discovered Middle Eastern Food! 

The love saw new levels when I moved to Paris, and ate a lot of falafel at local kebab places. 

Only recently I found out that it is not so hard to make hummus. So I decided to try it out. 

The photo looks pretty nice, isn't it? But to be honest, I threw away the entire lot of hummus two days after I made it, and I ate only one spoon out of it.

Why didn't it work?

A couple of reasons: 

• I put the chickpeas that I had soaked all night into a mixer. Apparently they were still not soft enough. What could I have done? Before putting them into a mixer, I should have put them in boiling water for some time, to make them even softer. (note for next time)
• I tried this recipe without Tahini Sauce . I was just lazy to go buy it. But it looks like an important ingredient. 
• The rest of ingredients were ok (mainly olive oil, salt, red chilli flakes, some garlic)  

Note to myself: Boil chickpeas once to ensure they are super soft and also buy Tahini Sauce.
