Ingredients
For the Hummus:
- 1 15 Ounce Can Garbanzo Beans drained and rinsed with the skins removed
- 1 ¼ Cups Cottage Cheese
- ⅓ Cup Tahini
- ¼ Cup Lemon Juice
- 2 Cloves Garlic
- ¼ Teaspoon Cumin
- ½ Teaspoon Sea Salt
- 2 Ice Cubes
For Garnishing:
- 1 Drizzle Olive Oil
- Fresh Parsley chopped
Instructions
- To make this hummus, start by preparing the garbanzo beans. Drain and rinse the garbanzo beans well, and remove the skins - this is what will make the hummus nice and creamy!
- Transfer the prepared chickpeas to a food processor alongside the rest of the ingredients (the cottage cheese, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, and sea salt). Add in the ice cubes last.
- Process the ingredients together for 3-4 minutes, until the hummus is smooth and creamy. You may need to scrape down the sides of the food processor and re-blend once or twice, to ensure that the ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Then, remove the cover and taste and adjust the seasonings as needed.
- Serve with your favorite chips, crackers, or cruité, and enjoy!
