It’s a super easy variation of traditional hummus that uses walnuts instead of tahini. The orange lends a bright note, too!
TIP: If you like a little heat, add a dash or two of your favorite hot sauce.
Servings 8
Ingredients
2 cups (300 grams) chickpeas, drained & rinsed
1 cup (110 grams) walnuts
2 tbsp walnut oil
1 clove garlic, minced
⅓ tsp orange zest
¼ cup (60 ml) orange juice
¾ tsp salt
½ tsp ground cumin
Pinch of black pepper
Instructions
Preheatthe oven to 350ºF (175ºC). On a parchment-lined baking sheet, toast the walnuts until golden, about 5-7 minutes – stir once halfway through. Set aside to cool.
Using a food processor or high-speed blender, blend the chickpeas until well combined.
Add the walnuts and blend until they are incorporated. Add the remaining ingredients and continue to blend until they reach a thick “hummus-y” consistency. Taste and adjust seasonings.
Pour into a serving bowl and place in the fridge for at least an hour before serving to let the flavors combine. Enjoy!
