Chef's Tips

For a smoother hummus, peel the skins off the chickpeas before blending.

The tagine spice blend can be adjusted to your taste preference. If you don't have a pre-made blend, you can mix your own using cumin, coriander, ginger, cinnamon, turmeric, paprika, and a pinch of cayenne.

Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley for added freshness.

Store leftover hummus in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
