Ingredients

Servings
  • 3 1/2 cups chickpeas OR two cans, soaked and cooked; or 1 1/2 cups dry; aka garbanzo beans
  • 1 cup peanuts roasted and unsalted, shelled
  • 8 cloves garlic roasted
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice or more to taste, freshly squeezed
  • 1/3 cup chickpea cooking liquid or more if needed, reserved liquid from cooking chickpeas or from the can
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 3/4 teaspoon cumin
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt or more to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon Turmeric
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients in a food processor. Pulse the ingredients for about 60 seconds, then process until smooth. Taste the mixture and add more salt or lemon juice to taste, blend again. If the texture seems too thick, add some of the reserved water from the cooking liquid or chickpea can. Continue to process until desired consistency is reached.
  2. Serve with warm pita, crackers or crudites for dipping. Note: for a smoother, fluffier hummus, you can peel the chickpeas before you begin. Take careful note not to serve this to anybody with a peanut allergy; it looks like regular hummus and could easily be mistaken, so label accordingly!
