Hummus topping ideas:

Instructions
 

  • Add all ingredients except the water to a food processor. Blend for ~5 minutes or more.

  • Test the texture/consistency. I like mine less thick so I added ¼ cup extra water and blended it for another minute. If you like yours very thick, you can serve it without adding the extra water.

  • Top with your favorite toppings. I used artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers, sprouted lentils, kalamata olives, sesame seeds, flax seeds, and fresh black pepper.

Notes

*You can use canned chick peas, but I notice the texture does not come out as smooth and creamy as it does when you steam your peas fresh.
