Ingredients
•30 oz canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans) drained with liquid reserved (I use two 15oz cans)
•1/3 cup chickpea liquid or more, as needed
•1/2 cup tahini
•1/4 cup olive oil
•2 lemons juiced
•2 garlic cloves
•1 tsp cumin
•1/2 tsp salt
garnish
•olive oil
•paprika
•fresh parsley
Instructions
1.Add all the ingredients to your Vitamix or high-powered blender and secure the lid. Remove the lid cap and insert the tamper.
2.Turn the blender on high for 30 seconds (or more for a creamier texture) and use the tamper to push the hummus into the blades. Add more chickpea liquid (aquafaba), if desired, for a softer hummus.
3.Add the hummus to a serving plate and garnish with olive oil, paprika and fresh parsley.
Notes
•The hummus will last for up to a week in the fridge, if kept in a sealed container. You can also freeze the hummus in sealed containers for future use, then just thaw as needed. It’s actually one of the most common foods I meal prep on a regular basis as it’s so easy.
•Don’t forget that you can also make tahini yourself (rather than buying in the store). Just follow my tahini recipe.
•The Vitamix blender I use is the Vitamix Ascent 3500 – and I love it!
