- 3 cloves of garlic (minced)
- 2 cups of garbanzo (chickpeas)
- 1/2 cup of lemongrass water
- 1.5 tsp of salt
- 1/2 tsp of ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp of red pepper flakes
- 2 tbsp of almond butter
- 1/2 cup of lime juice
Mix garlic, chickpeas, lemongrass water, almond butter, and lemongrass water in a blender or food processor (my point of reference is when I can make an indentation on the mix with the back of a spoon). Then add the spices and mix again. I like to eat it on corn tortillas (another Mexican touch) and garnish with pomegranate.
Time to prepare: about 45 min (probably less with a good food processor)
Yields about 2.5 cups of hummus with total protein content of about 29g
Enjoy!
