    I needed some aquafaba for the Vegan Chocolate Torte posted on Sunday. So, after I poured off the liquid to use as a vegan egg substitute I had a whole can of chickpeas. What to do, what to do?

    Hummus, of course! Truthfully, I do not really like the taste of chickpeas, but once they are all blended up with spices, tahini and other flavors into delicious creamy goodness I will devour it.

    To make this extra creamy, I borrowed a trick from Cook's Illustrated and added the ingredients in three steps instead of dumping it all in at once. I think the result was a much smoother texture.

    Ingredients
     

    • 15 ounce can chickpeas ( drained and rinsed)
    • 2-3 large cloves garlic
    • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
    • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
    • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
    • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
    • ¼ cup water
    • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil divided
    • ⅓ cup tahini

    Instructions
     

    • In a blender or food processor pulse chickpeas, garlic and spices until almost fully ground, about 20 seconds. Scrape down sides.
    • Combine lemon juice and water in a small bowl. With the machine running, slowly drizzle in the lemon juice water combo. Continue blending for 1 minute, pausing to scrape down sides as needed.
    • Combine tahini and olive oil in a small bowl. With the machine running, slowly drizzle in the tahini mixture and keep blending until hummus is smooth and creamy, about 30 seconds, scraping the sides as needed.

      […] Instead of reaching for the store bought hummus, why not make your own? Forks Over Knives provided inspiration for this recipe. Normally made with with chickpeas, the white beans in the pantry worked out just fine. The combination of garlic, basil and thyme made it really special. I will be adding this one to my hummus collection. […]
