Variations
Spicy – If you prefer your hummus spicy, add a little cayenne pepper or hot red chili powder while blending. Extra Virgin Olive Oil – Use the best quality extra-virgin olive oil for the best-tasting hummus. You can also replace it with other oils such as avocado oil, grapeseed oil, etc. Tahini (Sesame Paste) is one of the most essential ingredients in this hummus. It makes the hummus creamier and gives it a unique taste. You can make Tahini Paste at home using roasted sesame seeds or store-bought ones. You can also replace sesame tahini with pumpkin seeds tahini. Garlic – Fresh garlic cloves add a beautiful flavor and taste that is hard to match, and they are a must in a hummus recipe. Others – This hummus recipe also needs freshly squeezed lemon juice, salt, red pepper flakes, and roasted cumin powder. Replace lemon juice with lime juice for a tangier hummus. Add the following ingredients to a blender or a food processor.
16 oz drained black beans 2-3 cloves of garlic (peeled) 4 tablespoon tahini 4 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil 4 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice 1 teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon cumin powder 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Process until combined (3-4 minutes), scraping down the sides of the blender as needed. If desired, add 2-3 tablespoon of the reserved liquid from the beans to make a looser dip. Tip – Add 1-2 ice cubes or a tablespoon of ice-cold water while blending to make fluffier hummus. Check for salt and lemon juice, and add more if needed. Transfer to a bowl, garnish with red pepper flakes, and drizzle olive oil. Serve! Peanut Butter – If you don’t have tahini or want to twist your hummus, add low-sugar or sugar-free peanut butter. It gives a distinct flavor to the hummus. Avocado – You can use avocado instead of olive oil to make your hummus creamier and healthier. Avocados will add a creamier texture to the hummus. Artichoke – You can add artichoke hearts to the hummus while blending, which turns out amazing. Chipotle – Adding chipotle pepper powder or fresh chipotle peppers to the hummus is a wonderful combination. Chickpeas – You can use a mix of black beans and chickpeas (garbanzo beans) to make the hummus. Take equal parts of black beans and chickpeas and make this outstanding dish. Jalapeno – Add finely chopped Jalapeno pepper to the black bean mix while blending. It makes the hummus more delicious and light. Others – You can also add roasted red peppers, fresh cilantro, fava beans, sun-dried tomatoes, etc to this recipe. Replace fresh garlic with roasted garlic for sweeter and more complex flavors.
