A party favourite across the Gulf, msabaha blends warm whole chickpeas with plenty of tahini and lemon. Unlike hummus, the chickpeas are only partly mashed, which makes getting the texture right a genuinely skilled task.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Warm the chickpeas

10 min

Warm the cooked chickpeas in a pot with a little water for 10 minutes.

2

Make the tahini sauce

5 min

Whisk the tahini with the lemon juice, crushed garlic, cumin and salt until smooth.

3

Combine

5 min

Lightly mash some of the warm chickpeas with a fork and mix with the tahini sauce, taking care to leave some chickpeas whole.

4

Serve

2 min

Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with chili flakes and serve warm.

Reminder

Do not mash the chickpeas too much — what sets msabaha apart from hummus is leaving some of them whole. Warm it just before serving, once cool the tahini firms up and the texture suffers. Allergens: contains sesame (tahini).

İlk seferde nohutları hummus yapar gibi tamamen pürüzsüz ezdim, tarifte bir kısmının bütün kalması gerektiği yazıyor ama o farkı fark etmemiştim; ikinci denemede doğru kıvamı yakaladım ve gerçekten çok daha iyiydi.
