Oil-Free Hummus

Hummus is pretty cheap to buy pre-made, but compared to getting the ingredients yourself and putting it together, especially considering the flavor difference, it can stupidly overpriced.

Ingredients

• 1 15 oz can of chickpeas
• 4 cloves garlic
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 1/3 cup tahini
• 1/4 to 1/2 cup of chickpea liquid saved from the can (aka aquafaba)
• salt and any other seasonings to taste! I picked chili pepper and cumin

Methodology

This all comes together in a few minutes.

Dump everything into a blender or food processor, starting with just a 1/4 cup of the chickpea liquid.

Blend and slowly add more chickpea liquid to reach a thickness or thinness you like. Taste and adjust seasoning.

Results

This keeps in the fridge for around 2 weeks for me, and I like to dip celery, carrots, or cucumber in it. You can also water it down to become a dressing on salads, which is delightful.
