Golden and creamy, this turmeric hummus is a delicious and healthy treat. Turmeric, boosted by black pepper, offers anti-inflammatory benefits (1), complemented by the creamy goodness of tahini, also known for its anti-inflammatory properties (2). Packed with fiber-rich chickpeas, this hummus is as good for you as it tastes. Enjoy it with veggies, pita, sandwiches, or however you like!
Ingredients :
- 1 ½ cups cooked chickpeas
- 1/3 cup tahini
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
- 1/4 cup water, or more to desired consistency
- 2 tablespoons olive oil for drizzling
Instructions:
- Combine Ingredients: This is where you bring all the core components together. By holding back the water initially, you allow the other ingredients to blend more effectively and create a smoother base.
- Blend: This is where the magic happens! Blending transforms the ingredients into a creamy, smooth texture. Scraping down the sides ensures everything gets incorporated evenly.
- Adjust Consistency: This step lets you customize your hummus to your liking. Adding water (or ice!) while the blender is running helps you achieve the perfect texture, whether you prefer it thick or more spreadable.
- Taste and Season: The final touch! Tasting allows you to fine-tune the flavors to your preference. A little extra lemon juice for tang, a pinch more salt to enhance the overall taste, or a sprinkle of your favorite spices for a unique twist.
- Enjoy it with vegetables, crackers and sandwiches
