Many countries claim its paternity to the point that there is even talk of a "hummus war"! The true country of origin is therefore uncertain, but it is claimed by at least 8 of them, mainly Palestine, Lebanon, and Israel. Greece, Turkey, Jordan, Syria, and to a lesser extent Egypt also claim it. As you can imagine, there are many different recipes, each with its own twist. The recipe for Thermomix Hummus offered here is one of the most classic and may be the most traditional, but it will undoubtedly delight your taste buds. It is mainly composed, in addition to chickpeas, of sesame, garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil. In France, hummus is usually served as an appetizer, accompanied by bread, blinis, or raw vegetables. But you can use it in other preparations such as in a burger, in a pita bread, in a salad, or even enjoy it with a spoon.
