Vegan Buticha Ethiopian Hummus Dip Recipe

This tasty vegan chickpea spread is traditionally served alongside other dishes on injera, the Ethiopian teff sourdough crepe. Feel free to add more or less water to reach you desired consistency. This is also delicious as a spread on toast, topped with avocado, or on baked potatoes.

Method

  • If you are using dry chickpeas, drain them and cook them for about 25 minutes, or until soft. If using canned chickpeas, simply rinse and drain them.
  • Place the chickpeas in your food processor, along with the onion or shallot, mustard, chilli, lemon juice and about half the water. Process until well combined.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper, add the olive oil and the remaining water a little at a time to reach your desired consistency.
  • Serve with injera or a vegan crepe and a side salad.
  • To make the injera:
  • Dilute the dried yeast in a little of the warm water. Then add the flour and mix, adding the rest of the water a little at a time. Mix until smooth. Set aside in a warm place to ferment for at leat 4 hours. Cook the injera like you would crepes, but only on one side, in a heated non stick pan.
