A creamy homemade hummus recipe made with healthy turmeric and black pepper. It's wonderful smeared over a crunchy piece of toast and topped with juicy tomatoes and toasted pine nuts.
How To MakeDiet Type: Plant-based
Shopping List
- 1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 4 tablespoons tahini (Note 1)
- 2 cloves roasted garlic (Note 2)
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons water
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- lots of black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: To roast the garlic, preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Use a sharp knife to slice off the top of one head of garlic to expose some of the cloves inside. Place the garlic head on a piece of foil, drizzle it with a bit of olive oil, and wrap the cut garlic head in the foil. Place the foil packet in the hot oven for 30 minutes. The cloves will be ready when they are lightly browned and fork tender.
- Step 2: Meanwhile, rinse the chickpeas and use your thumb and index finger to pinch the skin off of the individual chickpeas. The skin should slide right off. Discard the skins and continue this process until all of the skins are removed (yes, this does require some patience — but it's worth the effort).
- Step 3: Combine the skinned chickpeas, tahini, roasted garlic cloves, lemon juice, water, olive oil, cumin, turmeric, salt and pepper in a food processor. Blend until the hummus is super smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add 1 tablespoon(s) more water or lemon juice for an even silkier hummus.
- Serve: Enjoy. This is especially delicious on a thick slice of toast.
Recipe Notes
Note 1: A good tahini can make a world of difference in how this recipe turns out. The texture and flavor depends on the type of sesame seed used, the roast level, and how those seeds are processed. Look for a tahini that's light in color and very runny. It should taste rich and slightly sweet, not at all abrasive or overly bitter. We recommend this brand. Note 2: No time to roast garlic? In a pinch, use 1 raw garlic clove.
