Here are some tips for making the perfect harissa hummus:

  • This dish is ideal for a party or potluck and can be served with pita bread, crackers, or vegetables.
  • Serve the hummus at room temperature or slightly chilled.
  • If you peel the chickpeas, you will get a creamier hummus.
  • Hummus is a dish generally prepared with tahini. However, using both harissa and tahini makes the hummus high in fat. Adding 2 tablespoons will enhance the classic hummus flavor if you love tahini. If you do this, you need to increase the water ratio.
  • Drizzling olive oil on it will prevent it from drying out while waiting to be eaten on the table.
  • It is best to use homemade harissa, whose bitterness you have determined while making it yourself. You can also use store-bought harissa.
  • You can increase or decrease the amount of harissa yourself according to your spiciness threshold.
  • You can store it in the freezer for months and in the refrigerator for up to a week.
