NOTES:-
1>Use the best quality extra virgin olive oil . It is a main flavouring agent here so using pomace olive oil or refined olive oil which are considerably cheaper will affect the overall flavour negatively.
2> I have used dry sun dried tomato, hence I soaked them in warm water half an hour prior using them so that they are easy to blend with the hummus.You dont need to do this if you are using sun dried tomato in oil. You can substitute half of the olive oil with some of this oil as it is extremely flavourful.
3>You can store this hummus in the fridge for 4-5 days. Store it covered in an airtight box so that it doesn’t catch any other odours from the fridge and to prevent drying.
