How to make

Soak the nettles in warm water for an hour and a half or scald them for a few minutes in boiling water (about 300 ml) and then leave them to cool by covering the pan.

In addition to dried, in the nettle season you can use fresh or even frozen.

Pour the boiled, washed and strained chickpeas in a blender, along with the cloves of garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, sesame seeds and salt.

Add the nettles with some of the water, which is colored in dark green. The total weight is 3.5 oz (100 g).

Blend, until a smooth hummus is obtained and if you wish, pour more from nettle water and olive oil to dilute if it is very thick.

Put the finished hummus with nettles in a bowl, drizzle it with olive oil, paprika and sesame seeds and serve it with bread or crunchy toast, crackers or others snacks.

Enjoy your meal!
