Ingredients

  • ½ cup tahini
  • juice of one lime
  • 2 cans chickpeas aka garbanzo beans
  • ¼ cup chickpea brine aka aquafaba
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • salt to taste about 1 teaspoon
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • olive oil paprika, and chopped parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • In a food processor (ideal) or high-powered blender (such as a Vitamix), add the tahini and lime juice and blend together for one minute.
  • Add the remaining ingredients (chickpeas, chickpea brine, garlic, salt, and cumin) and blend until creamy (at least one full minute).
  • Plate in a serving bowl and using a spoon, spread some waves in the hummus. Drizzle with olive oil (optional) and garnish with paprika and chopped parsley. Enjoy!

Notes

  • This recipe is made without added oil in the hummus, although of course there is some oil in the tahini, even though it's just ground up sesame seeds!
  • Tip: If your tahini isn't very "drippy," you can add a few extra tablespoons of aquafaba (chickpea brine) as needed to get a smoother consistency.
