Creamy, smooth and seriously moreish—this White Bean and Chickpea Hummus is a delicious twist on the classic. Blending two types of legumes gives it extra richness, while garlic, lemon and olive oil keep things zesty and fresh. Perfect as a dip, spread, or the ultimate base for your favourite toppings—like our Kashmiri Chickpea Confit.
Ingredients
1x 400g canned chickpeas, drained
1x 400g canned cannellini beans, drained
150g hulled tahini
2-3 garlic cloves, slow roasted in a 150°C oven for 20-30 minutes (or until soft), then peeled
1 tbsp cumin
1 tsp ground Himalayan pink salt
Juice of 1 medium-sized lemon
3-4 ice blocks
Hot water on standby while blending
Method
Combine all ingredients (except for hot water) in a blender or food processor.
Begin blending, and gradually add hot water until you achieve your desired consistency with the hummus. Blend until smooth and creamy (may take a few minutes depending on your type of blender).
Adding the ice blocks will help aerate the hummus during the blending process, and make it extra creamy!
When ready to serve, sprinkle the hummus with EVOO (extra virgin olive oil), a teaspoon of Kashmiri Krush or Smokey Tomatina spice blend to give it a serious flavour punch.
