Notes
- Serving Size = Approximately 2 tablespoons
- Serving Size
- Substitute Chickpea Flour
- Substitute Chickpea Flour
- To save time and guarantee a creamy texture, you can easily substitute chickpea flour for whole chickpeas. Use 2/3 cup chickpea flour spooned and leveled or 2.5 oz. If using chickpea flour, no need for the baking soda.
- Storage
- Storage
- Fridge- Store this sauce in an airtight container for up to 1 week. The texture will change slightly the next day and the lemon may be a little more pronounced, which is why we love this sauce the best the first day it's made.
- Freezer- Unfortunately, this sauce does not freeze well. Its texture becomes quite grainy when defrosted.
- Cooking the Chickpeas
- Cooking the Chickpeas
- While you can add the chickpeas straight to the blender from the can (although we always recommend removing the skins), it will create a grainy textured sauce, when first made. Boiling the chickpeas first will create a much smoother texture.
- Weigh Ingredients
- Weigh Ingredients
- When using flour, we always recommend weighing your ingredients for more consistent results. We love this kitchen scale!
- Substitutions
- Substitutions
- Salt - You can substitute table salt for kosher, just reduce the table salt a scant 1/4 teaspoon.
- Vegetable Oil - You can use another neutral-flavored oil like canola.
- Chickpeas - For dried chickpeas, soak overnight (or at least 12 hrs) and boil for 90 - 120 minutes. Add baking soda for at least the last 10 minutes of boiling.
- Fresh Garlic and Herbs - You could use fresh herbs (1 tablespoon of fresh for every 1 teaspoon), but it will change the consistency of the sauce.
- Almond Flour - We have not tried this recipe with another flour. The almond is signature to the original Cafe Yumm Sauce.
- Nutritional Yeast - Don't substitute!
