Wasabi Ginger Hummus
Try this Asian inspired Wasabi Ginger Hummus, a brilliant twist to the traditional hummus.
Ingredients
- 1 15.5 oz can Garbanzo Beans (Chickpeas), drained
- 1 Tbls Tahini paste
- Juice of 1 Lemon
- 1 clove garlic peeled
- 1 ½ - 2 tsp Wasabi Powder
- ½ - 1 tsp Ginger Powder
- 2 Tbls Canola or Safflower Oil
- Salt & Pepper to taste
- Soy Sauce to garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a blender, add in your drained Garbanzo Beans, Tahini, start with the juice of 1/2 the Lemon, Garlic clove (you can roughly chop first if needed, I put mine in whole), start with 1 tsp Wasabi Power, start with 1/2 tsp Ginger Powder, Oil and Salt and pepper to taste.
- Blend until it's a smooth paste.
- Taste and adjust flavor if needed, by adding more Lemon juice, Wasabi Powder and Ginger Powder.
- Store with either a thin layer of Oil over top or with plastic wrap touching the surface to form a "skin". Keep refrigerated.
- To serve, drizzle a small amount of Soy Sauce over top if desired.
Notes
For this recipe, I used Canola Oil because it is light in flavor and blended with the flavors better. Normally I use Olive Oil in other flavor combinations.
