Laura's Hummus

Just be aware that there are three names for the same product, so depending on what kind of store you're in, you may be looking for "chickpeas", "garbanzo beans", or "chi-chi beans".

I try to cook my own from dried whenever I can, but sometimes I'm pressed for time and resort to canned beans... in which case I try to find no or low sodium.

Hummus E2

• 300g cooked garbanzo beans (or 1 can if not homemade)
• 60g tahini (¼ C)
• 12g garlic gloves
• ¼ C aquafava (the liquid from the chickpeas) or water
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ C apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp sumac

Tahini is a processed food but it's a single ingredient and they use the whole sesame seed so I'm not overly concerned (and it's not a daily ingredient for me). Vinegar is also a processed food and I addressed that in my premier blog post.

I put all this is my small food processor and blend until smooth.

I own a mini food processor (for times like this) and a regular large food processor (for bigger projects).
