Ingredients

Hummus

  • 15.5 oz can of chickpeas (garbanzo beans), reserve a few to top
  • 1/4 cup aquafaba (liquid from the canned chickpeas) OR cold water
  • 1/3 cup tahini (sesame paste)
  • 2 tbsp cold water
  • Juice from 1/2 a lemon
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Tahini Sauce

  • 1/4 cup tahini paste
  • 1/4 cup cold water
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder

TOPPINGS

  • Chickpeas
  • Paprika
  • Za'atar
  • Tahini Sauce
  • Olive oil

Directions

  1. Toss in all hummus ingredients into a blender or food processor and blend for 4-5 minutes until smooth. Start with 1/4 cup of water or aquafaba, and add more as needed until desired consistency is reached. Adjust salt to your liking.
  2. For the tahini, whisk together all of the ingredients in a small bowl until smooth.
  3. Plate your hummus with the back of a spoon and garnish with toppings of choice. I like to add a drizzle of olive oil, a swirl of tahini, paprika, za'atar, a few chickpeas and cilantro.
  4. Keep leftovers in fridge for up to a week.
