▶️ METHOD:
Thorough wash, peel and chop the sweet potatoes into cubes. Transfer it to a pan. Drain the liquid from the cooked chickpeas (either home cooked) OR 1 can of cooked chickpeas. Add to the pan. Add 3/4 cup water and spread the potatoes and chickpeas evenly. Bring to a vigorous boil, then cook for about 20 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are soft and mushy. Once the sweet potatoes are cooked turn off the heat and allow it to slightly cool down. 👉 COVER THE PAN TO PREVENT THE CHICKPEAS FROM DRYING OUT BECAUSE WE WANT THEM SOFT AND MOIST FOR IT TO BLEND PROPERLY.
✅ 👉 DO NOT THROW AWAY the liquid from the cooked sweet potatoes and chickpeas, we will need all of it.
To a small pan add the sliced garlic, olive oil and fry on medium-low heat until the garlic chips JUST STARTS to brown. IMMEDIATELY transfer to a small bowl to prevent it from burning. Allow it to cool down. Set aside for later.
To a food processor add the cooked chickpeas (WHILE IT’S STILL WARM), sweet potatoes along with any remaining liquid, lemon juice, garlic, tahini, ground cumin, cayenne, salt, olive oil and blend. Blend it to a smooth fluffy puree (for about 4 minutes or so – depends on your food processor). Make sure to scrape the sides of the container and give it a mix in between so it blends well. The hummus should be smooth and airy – blend it properly.
✅ Now ADD THE GARLIC OIL INTO THE HUMMUS AND MIX THOROUGHLY. Chill the hummus in the refrigerator for a few hours in an airtight container for the flavours to develop. Once chilled serve in a sandwich, wrap, as vegetable dip or with baked potato wedges.
▶️ IMPORTANT TIPS:
👉 Cooked the sweet potatoes until soft & mushy. Undercooked sweet potatoes will not blend well
👉 Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, allow it to slightly cool down make sure to cover the lid, this will prevent the chickpeas from drying out (we want them soft and moist for it to blend properly)
👉 BLEND THE CHICKPEAS WHILE IT’S STILL WARM
👉 DO NOT throw away the liquid from the cooked sweet potatoes and chickpeas, add it all to the food processor
👉 Use a good quality olive oil, it will greatly enhance the taste
