Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: Middle Eastern
Serves: 2 cups
Ingredients
- 1 cup sprouted garbanzo beans
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1/4 tsp cumin
- Salt to taste
- Water as needed for consistency
Instructions
- Drain and rinse the sprouted garbanzo beans thoroughly under cool running water, ensuring any residual hulls are removed.
- Pat the sprouted garbanzo beans dry using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps achieve a smoother hummus texture.
- Place the sprouted garbanzo beans, tahini, lemon juice, peeled garlic cloves, cumin, and a pinch of salt into a food processor or high-powered blender.
- Begin processing the ingredients, stopping periodically to scrape down the sides of the container with a spatula to ensure even blending.
- Gradually add small amounts of water while continuing to blend, until the hummus reaches a smooth, creamy consistency that is neither too thick nor too thin.
- Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning by adding more salt, lemon juice, or cumin as needed to balance the flavors.
- Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl, creating a slight well in the center and drizzling with optional olive oil, sprinkled paprika, or chopped herbs for garnish.
- Serve immediately with fresh vegetables, pita bread, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Tips
- Choose Quality Beans: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh sprouted garbanzo beans. If you don’t have them sprouted, you can soak dried beans overnight and then sprout them for a couple of days before using.
- Adjust Consistency: If your hummus is too thick, gradually add more water while blending until you reach your desired creaminess. Remember, the consistency can always be adjusted to suit your preference!
- Flavor Boost: Experiment with different spices or add-ins like roasted red peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, or fresh herbs to create unique variations of your hummus.
- Garnish for Presentation: Elevate your hummus by drizzling a little olive oil on top and sprinkling with paprika or fresh herbs before serving. This not only enhances the flavor but also makes for an appealing presentation.
- Storage Tips: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This hummus stays fresh for up to 5 days, making it perfect for meal prep or quick snacks throughout the week.
