Instructions
 

  • Roast the Asparagus: Cut the green asparagus into pieces about 3-4 cm (1-1.5 inches) long.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large pan and sauté the asparagus over medium heat for about 8-10 minutes until it is soft and slightly browned, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking.

  • Serve: Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl.

Notes

  • Enhance the Flavor: Add a pinch of smoked paprika or cumin to the hummus mixture before blending to give it a deeper flavor profile.
    • A drizzle of truffle oil over the finished hummus can add a luxurious feel and taste.
This hummus is perfect for those who enjoy the delightful combination of hearty chickpeas and crisp asparagus with the richness of tahini and fresh lemon.
