Trafo Hummus Chips

Over here the chickpea has been known since the Roman era. It is easy to grow, requires little water and hardly needs fertilization. However, because it needs a lot of sunshine, the yields north of the Alps are less than, e.g. in Italy. In temperate climates they should best be cultivated in the greenhouse. Chickpeas are delicious, versatile and have a considerable number of valuable ingredients. The small legume, however, does only enjoy appreciation since recently. For centuries it has been dismissed as a ”poor man’s food“ in Europe. On principle they were not served to the rich and powerful.

For the Romans the chickpea was far more than just a cheap food. It was a popular aphrodisiac, which, unlike other ”miracles“, everyone could afford. The chickpea was considered the sanctified plant of Venus, the Roman goddess of love, beauty and eroticism. In the Middle Ages, much less chickpeas were eaten than in ancient Rome. Perhaps that was the reason why during this age Europe was that prudish. While the chickpea was disdained for a long time in the Occident, it early enjoyed great popularity in the Orient. Even today it cannot be missing in any kitchen in the Middle East, after all chickpeas are the main ingredient for falafel and, of course, hummus.

Rationally speaking, hummus is a cream that is stirred from chickpea mash, sesame paste, olive oil and lemon juice. It is refined with garlic, cumin, salt and pepper. Hummus is usually served cold. On the plate or in the bowl it is pressed in from above with a spoon. The well is then filled with olive oil. According to taste, it can still be sprinkled with hot paprika powder, cumin or parsley. Hummus is an oriental appetizer par excellence. In the eastern Mediterranean and in the Arab world, it can be found on every menu. Despite all the differences that exist in the Middle East, everyone agrees on hummus being iconic. The vegan delicacy therefore also finds more and more enthusiastic followers in Europe and America. Traditionally, hummus is a dip for pita, other flat breads or vegetable sticks. In countries with firmer bread, it can be used as a spread. In addition, one can also enjoy hummus in a completely different way, for example in the form of crispy chips.
