Oil-Free Hummus Recipe | Cooking With My Dad!

Open a can of chickpeas and drain the liquid, saving the chickpea brine.

Add the chickpeas to a food processor.

Instead of using olive oil, add chickpea brine for moisture and creaminess.

Add 1/4 cup of tahini to the food processor.

Add 1 clove of garlic (or garlic powder to taste).

Add lemon juice and salt to taste.

Blend the mixture in the food processor for 1-2 minutes until creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed.

If using a blender, start with the liquids and chickpeas, then add heavier ingredients to avoid clumping.

Optionally, remove the skins from the chickpeas for a creamier texture, but note it takes longer.

Serve the hummus topped with olive oil and chopped parsley, if desired.
