Zero Point Hummus-ish
By: Magda Therrien
Create this creamy, delicious and oh-so-decadent tasting hummus-like spread that will fool your friends and keep you on program! You won’t believe this is a zero-point recipe when you taste it.
Ingredients
- 1 can (19 ounces) chickpeas
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 3 cloves garlic
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 4 tbsp ice-cold water
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 2 tbsp plain, fat-free Greek yogurt
-
Chop the garlic and add the lemon juice and let it sit for about 10 minutes. This will smooth out the harsh raw garlic while still allow a delicious garlicy flavour to imbue the hummus.
-
Drain and rinse the chickpeas with ice-cold water. (For an even creamier, smoother hummus cook the canned chickpeas with the 1/2 tsp of baking soda in 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 20 minutes. Rinse in ice water and drain. This helps break down the chickpeas and their skins for an even smoother hummus),
-
Combine the chickpeas, garlic, lemon juice and in a food processor and process until smooth. Then process some more, until super smooth.
-
Add the yogurt and seasonings and process to combine. Serve immediately or refrigerate
Fantastic. Can’t wait to see these recipes.
