Hummus, we love it, and we have to admit that we are quite addicted. Red alert on the food planet:here it is now available in a sweet version. A variation that seems to have already won over the East Coast of the United States, as well as a handful of “food” bloggers on Instagram. A delicious variant, if we are to believe the many testimonials! This is also the credo of the American brand Delighted By, which has decided to make it its flagship product. Brownie flavor, with ginger and orange or even cinnamon biscuit style, so many gourmet variants that we want to try!
Unfortunately for us, the brand is only available on the other side of the Atlantic. So, if you want to test, you will have to do it yourself. To obtain a homogeneous paste, keep the same proportion of oil as in the traditional recipe. Except that instead of olive oil, which we prefer for its salty version, we prefer coconut oil, which gives an even smoother appearance to the dough. And in terms of ingredients, in addition to the basic ones (chickpeas – oil – tahina – lemon juice), we add what we like:chocolate chips, cinnamon, chocolate spread, dried fruits and nuts… On Internet, several recipes are proposed, with different flavors and a unanimous opinion:it is very good! Once the mixture is ready, put it in the fridge and serve it with fruit or biscuits, for dessert or as a snack…
Sweet or salty, we take the opportunity to recall the (very) many virtues of chickpeas, which help reduce bad cholesterol while lowering blood pressure, which helps prevent cardiovascular disease. It is also very rich in protein, fiber and iron, provides energy, essential fatty acids, and folic acids, essential for the proper development of the fetus during the first four months of pregnancy. It is also a source of vitamins A, B6, C, E and K, calcium, phosphorus, potassium, zinc, magnesium, iron and sodium. Finally, thanks to its fiber and good iron content, it is ideal for people with anemia and those with digestion problems.
In short, if you were still hesitating...
