Ingredients

  • 0.8 cup veggie broth canned (or the liquid from 1 can of chickpeas)
  • 0.1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder 
  • cups chickpeas cooked drained (or 2 15-ounce cans, 1 )
  • 0.3 teaspoon cumin 
  • cloves garlic peeled
  • tablespoons juice of lemon fresh
  • servings salt to taste
  • 0.3 teaspoon paprika smoked
  • tablespoons sesame seed (or 4 tablespoons sesame seeds)

Equipment

  • blender
  • spatula

Directions

  1. Place all ingredients except salt in the blender in the order listed, using the smaller amounts. Start the machine on low and increase speed to high. Use the Vitamix plunger to break up air pockets and push chickpeas toward the blades, if necessary. (Other blenders: Stop and use a spatula to do this.) If the mixture is too thick, add additional water a little at a time. Turn up to the highest speed and blend for a few seconds until hummus is completely smooth. Stop blender and taste the hummus.
  2. Add additional seasonings and salt to taste and blend briefly to combine. Store hummus in a sealed container in the refrigerator. It’s best after it’s had a chance to rest for at least an hour, but use within a week.
