It’ll become your favourite hummus ever RIGHT AWAY! And guess what? The recipe is also oil-free!

Instructions

 

• Make sure you remove the chickpeas' skin, as this will make the biggest difference when it comes to achieving the perfect silky-smooth hummus texture. Don't skip!
  
• Soak the minced garlic in the freshly squeezed lemon juice for 10 minutes. This will also make a huge difference in flavour as the garlic will lose its harsh taste and mellow out.
  
• In a food processor, combine the skinless chickpeas, tahini, garlic and lemon mixture, freshly ground cumin, unsweetened soy milk, and sea salt, and process until the mixture is smooth, making sure to scrape down the sides.
  
• Now taste the hummus and add any extra seasoning if desired. Stir in the ice cubes and process again until the mixture looks silky-smooth, pale, and very creamy. 
  
• Scrape the hummus into a plate and use a spoon to create nice swooshes on top.
  
• Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil and top with a sprinkle of paprika powder, a few chickpeas, some lemon slices, and chopped fresh parsley. Enjoy, you're going to love our hummus recipe!
  

Notes

• Store in an air-tight container, in the refrigerator, for up to 3 days.
