Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups garbanzo beans (soaked, cooked, and drained)
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 10 tablespoons water
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons lemon juice (fresh squeezed, if possible)
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • 2 teaspoons Coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Put all ingredients in a heavy duty blender (aka Vitamix) and/ or food processor.
  2. Blend until of desired consistency. A typical food processor will need approximately 4 minutes to get it really smooth.
  3. Serve with chips, vegetables, Focaccia Flax Bread, or use as a spread.

Notes

  • For those on the Trim Healthy Mama Plan, this can be an E food. Just reduce the oil to 1 teaspoon and add in extra water or liquid from the garbanzos to desired consistency.
  • It is preferable for the garbanzo beans to be organic and cooked with organic ajwain (you can read my post on it here) to remove gassiness from the beans.
  • For tips on peeling garlic, see The Easiest Way to Peel Garlic.
  • You may substitute tahini for the olive oil. My eldest has a life-threatening allergy to sesame seeds, so we don't use tahini in our hummus. Personally I like the lighter flavor of sesame-free hummus.
  • If you would prefer to buy your lemon juice, here is a great brand of organic lemon juice.
  • Aleppo pepper is a wonderful alternative to the crushed red pepper, but it's hard to find. Any red pepper will work.
