Sesame-Free Hummus

 

Sesame-Free Hummus

I have a nutrition client who is allergic to sesame, and together we’ve noticed that it’s actually really hard to find hummus that doesn’t have tahini, which is sesame paste. So I figured, why not just make a sesame-free version at home? It’s super-easy, you just add everything to a blender and all of a sudden you have hummus! (This version does not include oil because my client is also following a whole food plant-based diet, but you can add 2 tablespoons of oil to this recipe if you want.)

  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Servings: 8

Ingredients

  • 2 cans chickpeas (rinsed, drained)
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 lemon
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons Bragg Liquid Aminos
  • 2 teaspoons za'atar seasoning
  • 1/4 cup vegetable broth
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Blend chickpeas, garlic, lemon, ground cumin, Bragg Liquid Aminos, za'atar seasoning, vegetable broth, salt, and pepper into thick paste.
