How to Make It
Ingredients
- One 15-ounce can chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
- ¼ cup tahini
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice (about two lemons)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 3 tablespoons aquafaba (canned chickpea liquid), and more as needed for desired consistency
- Salt to taste
- Optional toppings: sprinkle of sumac, paprika or ground cumin and additional olive oil
Preparation
While hummus is traditionally made with chickpeas and sumac (a deep red, tangy spice commonly used in Middle Eastern cuisine), you can modify this recipe using a variety of beans and flavorings.
Try using white beans like butter beans, navy beans or cannellini beans. Add roasted red peppers, chili powder or sundried tomatoes for unique variations. Or add extra cloves of garlic for a stronger garlic flavor and top with pine nuts or olives. The possibilities are endless!
