Ingredients

  • 15 oz. can garbanzo beans
  • 1/4 cup aquafaba* (or less)
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 1 1/2 lemons)
  • 2 Tbsp. Tahini (or up to 4 Tbsp.)
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 2-3 tsp. Coconut aminos  (optional, but recommended)
  • 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
  • 1/4 tsp. salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Open the can of garbanzo beans and reserve 1/4 cup aquafaba.* Then rinse and drain garbanzo beans.
  2. Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender or food processor. (Start with 1 Tbsp. aquafaba and add more if desired.) Blend for about 1 minute, or until creamy.
  3. Taste and adjust flavors if desired. Add more tahini for a thicker texture. Store leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • *Aquafaba: This is the thick liquid in the can of garbanzo beans. Instead of olive oil, I include aquafaba to help thicken & bind the mixture. It also makes the texture smooth, creamy, and fluffy. Use as much or as little to achieve your desired consistency.
  • Yield: Recipe makes about 1.5 cups hummus.
  • Toppings: Serve as is, or garnish with chopped fresh parsley, smoked paprika, chopped olives, pine nuts, sesame seeds, etc.
  • Flavor variations: Add roasted garlic, roasted red bell pepper, spinach, artichoke, fresh herbs, roasted beets, curry powder, hot sauce, chipotle, jalapeno, etc.
  • Serving: Enjoy as a dip with crackers, veggies, or pita wedges. Or try it as a spread on sandwiches, wraps, or salads.
