Hummus Asian Style Method:
You have 2 choices here, you can blend your Chickpeas Raw or you can elect to steam them for 2 to 4 minutes the choice is yours.Either way you will have a great tasting Hummus.
Add your white sesame seeds to a dry glass blender or milling machine and blend dry.

Add your crushed garlic cloves with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
Add your ¼ cup of fresh herbs of Mint and Sweet Basil
Pour in ¼ cup of your fresh squeezed Lime or Lemon Juice
Add your Level teaspoon of Red Thai Chili Powder
With the lid closed securely turn on the blender to high speed until you see a smooth consistency then turn of , and do a taste test with follow up adjustments if need be.
If all is well, then slowly add your sprouted Chickpeas with a wooden spoon (A Metal Spoon can dull your Blenders Blades) a little at a time and blending in between.
In the end we want to see a paste like consistency , and if you need to thin the Hummus out a bit then you can just add more Olive Oil.
Taste again and make any necessary adjustments with your ingredients at hand and your ready.
Spoon your delicious Hummus into a serving bowl.
In the Photo I dribbled some Olive Oil over top, sprinkled some Thai Chili powder ,and placed 3 plump brazil nuts with a garnish of fresh sweet Basil herb.
Any of your favorite nuts and fresh herbs will do as well.
Of course your left over hummus can be stored in a large glass mason jar in the back of your refrigerator where it is the coldest spot for any food storage. Your Hummus should keep for 3 days no problem.
