It is unclear exactly when hummus was created, although chickpeas have been known in the Middle East since ancient times. Many legends suggest that hummus was invented by Sultan Saladin during the Crusades; however, the first documented references to chickpea paste appeared in Egypt only in the 13th century. Today, hummus is a staple trend in the culinary world, inspiring countless combinations with various ingredients, offering an almost endless wealth of flavors. But that’s not all! Chickpea paste is also healthy, as it is high in protein and fiber, and it can help lower cholesterol levels in the blood.
We start by preparing classic hummus: simply combine all the ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth. Then, add your favorite ingredients to create various chickpea-based spreads.

Here is the king of Middle Eastern cuisine – hummus, which in Arabic means chickpeas, the main ingredient of this thick and filling paste. Hummus is an element of cultural pride of the Middle East. At the same time, it unites and divides the entire region – it is a dish of everyone, but belongs to no one. The Israelis and the Lebanese fiercely compete for the title of creator of hummus. The origin of hummus has become a symbol of tensions in the Middle East.
There is no good hummus without good ingredients, i.e. perfectly creamy sesame paste (tahini), top quality olive oil and lemon juice.
