Soy hummus with sesame

Soy hummus with sesame is a nutritious and flavorful alternative to the classic Middle Eastern dish. Hummus is considered one of the oldest foods of Eastern cuisine, with the first mentions found in Arabic culinary manuscripts dating back to the 8th century AD. In recent years, hummus has gained exceptional popularity due to the global rise of veganism, vegetarian diets, and healthy lifestyle (healthy eating / clean eating) trends.

Traditionally, hummus is made from chickpeas and/or peas. However, soy hummus is in no way inferior to the classic version in taste, aroma, or health benefits. On the contrary, it is rich in plant-based protein and essential micronutrients, making it an excellent choice for vegans and people following a balanced diet.

Adding sesame seeds not only enhances the taste of hummus but also significantly increases its nutritional value. Sesame is rich in calcium and potassium — minerals essential for a strong musculoskeletal system, proper brain function, and a healthy central nervous system.

In addition to easily digestible protein, soybeans contain iron, zinc, magnesium, as well as vitamins K, E, and B-complex vitamins. They are also a source of phytoestrogens and antioxidants that help normalize hormonal balance and protect the body from the harmful effects of free radicals.

Ingredients

Soy hummus with sesame (4 servings):

• 4 slightly incomplete cups of soybeans;
• 2 cups of sesame seeds;
• 100 g vegetable oil;
• ½ head of garlic;
• ½ tsp ground black pepper;
• ½ tsp ground hot chili pepper;
• 1 tsp salt;

Step-by-step preparation

Rinse the soybeans thoroughly under running water, then soak them for 2–3 hours. After soaking, boil the soybeans in salted water until fully cooked. Drain and allow to cool.

Combine the cooked soybeans with sesame seeds and blend using a blender at low speed until smooth. Add vegetable oil, black pepper, chili pepper, and peeled garlic pressed through a garlic press.

Mix thoroughly and place the hummus in the refrigerator for 1–1.5 hours to allow the flavors to develop.

Serve the finished soy sesame hummus spread on whole-grain bread or rye bread. Optionally, sprinkle with finely chopped fresh herbs such as dill or parsley.

Notes:

In addition to soybeans, hummus can also be made from beans or other legumes. For a more spicy and aromatic flavor, we recommend using mustard oil or black cumin seed oil.
