Hummus (oil-free)
Smooth and creamy traditional hummus without the oil.
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp sesame seeds or sub with 2 tbsp tahini
- 3 - 6 tbsp liquid from the chickpea can The chickpea can liquid has a thickness which works well, but any water will do the trick
- 1 400g can chickpeas
- 1/2 clove garlic
- 1/2 lemon or lime juiced
- 1/2 tsp cumin optional
- salt to taste (start with 1/2 tsp)
- more water or chickpea can liquid add as needed to achieve desired thickness
- paprika for garnish optional
Instructions
- Place the sesame seeds and 3 tbsp chickpea can liquid (or just water) in your bullet blender and blend until completely smooth. Add a bit more liquid if necessary if the mix won't blend. P.S. if you have tahini, you can skip this step and instead just add tahini to the blender.
- Add the chickpeas, garlic, lemon juice, cumin, and about 3 tbsp of liquid (chicpea can liquid, water, milk or yoghurt would work).
- Blend until smooth, then add more liquid and blend until desired consistency is achieved.
- Taste, and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, cumin or lemon juice if needed.
