Ingredients

  • 2 avocados ripe
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons tahini
  • 1 lime juiced
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon ground coriander
  • 19 oz can of chickpeas (drained, but reserve liquid)

Instructions

  • In the base of a 7 cup food processor fitted with a steel blade, combine all ingredients listed, except for the chickpeas. Add ¼ cup of liquid from the can of chickpeas.
  • Process for 1-2 minutes, until smooth and creamy. You may need to scrape down the inside of the food processor once or twice.
  • Add the chickpeas, and process for 2-3 minutes on high, until smooth. Add in more liquid from the can of chickpeas as needed (2-4 more tablespoons).
  • Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with red pepper flakes to serve.

Storage

  • Store in a sealed container the fridge for up to 2 days. After this, the hummus turns brown and develops an odd flavor.

Notes

Serving suggestions
  • dip– serve with tortilla chips and vegetable sticks
  • condiment– spread it on your sandwich, pita or even as a pizza base
  • salad dressing– toss it onto your salad or as part of a macro bowl
  • sauce– serve it with fish, chicken, or tofu
Smoothness
For extra smooth hummus, you can:
  1. overcook the chickpeas or
  2. pinch the skins off the chickpeas
Swaps
  • chickpeas for white beans
  • lime juice for lemon juice
  • it may be possible to leave out the tahini as this hummus is quite rich with the avocado
