Pistachio Hummus
Description
Pistachio Hummus starts by processing roasted salted pistachios with olive oil and reserved aquafaba from canned chickpeas to achieve a smooth base. Drained garbanzo beans, cumin, tahini, lemon juice, and garlic cloves are added and blended until creamy and well combined. Ice is incorporated to lighten the texture and control consistency.
The pistachios introduce a rich, slightly sweet, and nutty flavor that complements the earthy garbanzo beans and warm cumin. Tahini adds creaminess and depth, while lemon juice brings brightness. After blending, the hummus is garnished with fresh parsley and crushed pistachios for a fresh flavor and crunchy contrast.
This hummus works well as a spread, dip, or snack and can be adjusted in thickness by varying water or aquafaba. Letting the hummus rest enhances its flavors, developing more complexity over time.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup pistachio roasted and salted
- 2 garbanzo beans drained (reserve the liquid from 1 can, 15-ounce cans
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon cumin
- 2 tablespoons tahini (or more to taste)
- ½ lemon juiced
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 ice heaping cup
- 1 tablespoon parsley for garnish, chopped
Instructions
- In a food processor, combine the pistachios, reserved garbanzo bean liquid (but not the garbanzo beans), and olive oil. Blend on high for 1 minute until smooth.
- Add the drained garbanzo beans, cumin, tahini, lemon juice, garlic cloves, and ice. Blend for 1–2 minutes, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides, until the mixture is creamy. Adjust seasoning and tahini to taste.
- Transfer the hummus to a serving dish and garnish with chopped parsley and a few crushed pistachios for added texture.
Notes
- To use dried chickpeas, soak overnight and cook until soft for fresh garbanzo beans.
- Adjust consistency by adding more or less ice, water, or aquafaba when blending.
- Taste and modify seasoning, lemon, garlic, or tahini amounts to suit your preference.
- Allow hummus to rest overnight refrigerated to improve flavor depth.
