Hummus is a traditional dip from the Middle Eastern regions where it is served along with Arabic bread and / or grilled meat. It can also be relished as a spread on toasted bread and parathas. Healthy, nutritious and yummy, they can be had with veggie crudites, tacos or chips for a light snack.

It is usually made of boiled kabuli chana (white chickpeas), that is blended to a smooth paste along with tahini (sesame seeds), garlic and olive oil, being the few main ingredients. But today I would like to share my version of a black chickpeas & peanut hummus that was equally delicious. So you know now what to dish out when you have hunger pangs and when time is a constraint.
