Pita and hummus - a snack at work

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   For hummus, the chickpeas will be thoroughly washed and soaked for 6-12 hours (depending on the quality of the chickpeas). First, fill the chickpeas with warm water. When it cools down, drain it and fill it with water about 60 degrees. So the peas will swell faster.

2. Step 2:

   

   After the time has elapsed, the chickpeas need to be washed and boiled in double the volume of water. If you cook in a slow cooker, then 1-1.5 hours will be enough. The peas should be 80% ready.

3. Step 3:
