A homemade hummus with seasonal garlic scapes! This dish makes an excellent appetizer or healthy snack!
One 14 ounce can of chickpeas, rinsed and drained (save liquid if not using olive oil or water), about 2 cups
1/2 cup tahini
4 tablespoons garlic scapes, chopped (about 5 stems)
4 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon ground smoked paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
3 tablespoons olive oil (can also use water or aquafaba)*
In a large food processor, combine all ingredients except the olive oil. Pulse until well blended. Slowly pour in the olive oil until a smooth consistency is achieved. Add more oil one tablespoon at a time if you prefer a thinner consistency.
This hummus version is on the thicker side. If you prefer a thin consistency, add olive oil, water, or aquafaba (liquid from canned beans) one tablespoon at a time.
