Gluten-free hummus

November, 20th, 2024


Dieitician Tip

This recipe replaces tahini, which sometimes contains gluten, with olive oil. It also calls for sherry vinegar instead of lemon juice.

Ingredients (Serves 6)

  • 2/3 cup dried chickpeas (garbanzos), picked over and rinsed, soaked overnight, and drained
  • 3 cups water
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sliced green (spring) onion
  • 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (fresh coriander)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

Directions

In a large saucepan over high heat, combine the chickpeas, water, garlic cloves, bay leaf and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover partially and simmer until the beans are very tender, 50 to 60 minutes. Drain and discard the bay leaf, reserving the garlic and 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid.

In a blender or food processor, combine the chickpeas, cooked garlic, olive oil, 3/4 cup green onion, vinegar, cilantro, cumin and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Process to puree. Add the reserved cooking liquid, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the mixture has the consistency of a thick spread.

In a small serving bowl, stir together the chickpea mixture and the remaining 2 tablespoons green onion. Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Makes about 1 1/2 cups.
