시금치 후무스

A creamy green hummus of soaked chickpeas sautéed in olive oil and reduced in milk, blended with blanched spinach, lime juice, white pepper and nutmeg. Potassium-rich spinach helps flush out sodium, and lime brightens the mild flavor.

📝 Step-by-Step Instructions

Slice the green onion and wash and dry the spinach.

Heat olive oil in a pan over low heat and sauté the soaked chickpeas (with the green onion) for 3 minutes.

Add 5 cups of water and simmer over medium heat; when reduced, add the milk and cook until reduced by half.

Blanch the spinach in boiling salted water (5 cups water + 0.5 tbsp sea salt) for 5 minutes, rinse in cold water and squeeze dry.

Blend the chickpeas, spinach, lime juice, white pepper and nutmeg until smooth.
