Hey there, Lacey here with A Sweet Pea Chef.
And do you love hummus?
If you do, I've got some great news for you.
We're going to be making four different recipes for hummus.
I'm going to show you how to make hummus, it's going to be really easy, we got so many
great recipes coming up.
So, let's get started.
So, in order to make hummus, you do you need something to blend everything together.
I use my food processor, and I can leave my link for what one I use in the description
below.
You could also use just a heavy duty blender if you have one.
Whatever is going to get everything mushed together so it's fully blended is all you
need.
So, hopefully you've watched my homemade hummus recipe video which shows you just how to make
a plain chickpea, normal hummus recipe, it's very tasty.
But today, I'm going to show you how to kick it up a notch and make four different types
of hummus using different ingredients.
So, let's start off with a spicy black bean hummus so you can see just how versatile hummus
can be.
Add cooked black beans to your food processor.
And if you are just buying these from the store, make sure to grab the ones that say,
"No sodium added."
Then we're going to add in half of a jalapeno that's been diced and the seeds removed, fresh
cilantro, a couple garlic cloves, sea salt, freshly squeezed lime juice, ground cumin,
paprika, and some olive oil.
Then we're going to turn on the food processor and blend this for about a minute until everything
becomes fully, fully smooth.
And that's seriously how you make this hummus.
It's so simple and so tasty.
I like to top off this spicy black bean hummus with a little bit of cilantro, some jalapeno,
and a little bit of cayenne pepper just for a little color and a little bit extra spice.
For a less spicy hummus option, how about we make a sweet potato hummus that has natural
sweetness and is also savory and so, so yummy and pretty.
So, to start this off, we're going to need a cooked sweet potato.
You could either boil it, steam it, bake it, however you want.
We want to remove all the skin and then dice it into pieces, and we're going to add that
into our food processor followed by a couple of garlic cloves, some tahini, freshly squeezed
lemon juice and some sea salt.
And that's seriously how simple that is, then we just blended all the gather into a fully,
fully mixed and blended.
And there you go, you have sweet potato hummus, it's so yummy.
Top it off with a little fresh parsley, some sea salt and paprika, and a little drizzle
of olive oil, and you've got yourself a good thing going.
Right, so next, let's make a creamy avocado hummus, so yummy.
Start by adding some cooked chickpeas or garbanzo beans to the bottom of your food processor
followed by a couple ripe avocados, some tahini, freshly squeezed lime juice, garlic, sea salt,
ground black pepper, olive oil and some ground cumin.
Then, we're going to put the lid on and blend it all together so it's fully, fully mixed
and delicious and green and creamy, and you have your avocado creamy hummus.
To serve, I like to top it with a little bit of crushed red pepper flakes for a little
spice and some more little chickpeas and, of course, a little drizzle of olive oil,
so good.
Next, we're going to make an incredibly vibrant and delicious beet hummus that is so pretty
and it's equally tasty.
So, we're going to start off with some cooked chickpeas in our food processor.
We're going to follow that up with some cooked and diced beets, some lemon zest, freshly
squeezed lemon juice, tahini, ground cumin, a clove of garlic and then some sea salt.
Then we're going to blend everything together until it's fully pureed.
And you'll notice that it's just a really vibrant, awesome-looking pink color.
To serve this hummus, I like to add some feta, a lemon wedge and some fresh parsley, and
then I like to drizzle it with a little bit of tahini.
So, so yummy and so deliciously beautiful.
So now, you have four delicious new hummus recipes to go to test out.
You saw how easy they are and they're so tasty and healthy and good for you.
Hummus lasts for about five days in the fridge if stored in the air tight container, and
it can last up to six months in the freezer.
So, you can have hummus ready to grab and go all the time which is my kind of life.
