Learn to fall in love with hummus with this Super Creamy Hummus recipe. You don’t need to peel the chickpeas to get the creamiest hummus you’ve ever tried. Cooking the canned chickpeas with baking soda gives it a smooth and super creamy texture without fuss. Don’t worry, you won’t taste any baking soda in the final recipe. A plate of this hummus served with burst cherry tomatoes and toasted bread makes for a perfect vegan-friendly lunch.
You’ll need two cans of chickpeas for this recipe. Drain your chickpeas, reserving some of the aquafaba, aka chickpea water. Place the chickpeas into a large pot and cover with water. Add a teaspoon of baking soda and bring to a boil. Cook for 30 minutes, then drain and add to a food processor. Add in the reserved aquafaba, tahini, lemon juice, cumin, and a pinch of salt. Blend for 1 to 2 minutes. While the food processor is on, slowly add the ice cubes. Blend until the hummus is smooth and creamy. Finally, cook the tomatoes with a little olive oil until they burst. Smash them, then add the harissa paste and stir to combine. To serve, spread the hummus in a shallow bowl and top with the tomatoes.
To prepare the Super Creamy Hummus, you will need the following ingredients:
Place the drained chickpeas in a large pot. Cover with water by about 2 inches, and add 1 teaspoon of baking soda. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Once ready, drain the chickpeas.
To a food processor, add the chickpeas, ¼ cup chickpea aquafaba, ½ cup tahini, 4 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon cumin, and salt to taste.
Blend for 1-2 minutes until completely smooth. While the food processor is on, slowly add 2-3 ice cubes.
In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and add the tomatoes. Cook the tomatoes until they burst, about 5 minutes. Then smash them with a spatula and add 1 teaspoon harissa paste. Stir to combine and remove from the heat.
To serve, spread the hummus in a shallow bowl and top with the cherry tomatoes. Add a sprinkle of fresh parsley, if you wish, and enjoy.
