Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Macadamia nuts
- 1 cup Chickpeas (cooked or canned, drained)
- 2 tablespoons Tahini
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 large Garlic clove
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Place the macadamia nuts into a food processor and pulse until finely ground, but not overly processed into a paste.
Add the chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic clove, olive oil, water, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to the food processor.
Blend the mixture on high until it becomes smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the food processor as needed to ensure everything is evenly blended.
If the hummus is too thick, add an additional tablespoon of water at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or lemon juice to enhance the flavors as desired.
Transfer the macadamia nut hummus to a serving bowl. Optionally, drizzle with extra olive oil and garnish with a sprinkle of ground cumin or chopped macadamia nuts before serving.
Serve with pita bread, vegetable sticks, or your favorite crackers. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
