Instructions
- First, give the spinach a good wash. That way you are sure to make sure to remove any dirt. Soak the pistachio nuts for ten minutes while preparing the hummus ingredients.
- Secondly, depending if you are using pre-cooked chickpeas or you are cooking them from scratch. I often use quality organic cooked chickpeas that are ready to use.
- Drain the chickpeas of the aquafaba (chickpea liquid). Depending on whether you want to make thick spreadable hummus or you prefer dreamy creamy you will need to double the amount of liquid for a cremier version.
- Add the chickpeas, spinach leaves, salt, raw garlic cloves, lemon juice, pre-soaked pistachios, aquafaba liquid, tahini paste to the blender an or food processor blend at full speed until you reach your desired consistancy for the thick spreadable hummus.
- Finally, transfer the hummus to a dish, add a few chopped pistachios and chopped spinach leaves spinach leaves. Drizzle with olive oil if you wish to.
Notes & Suggestions
The recipe ingredients are for a thick hummus made with cooked chickpeas, for a thinner consistency double the amount of liquid used:
Thick Hummus – For a dense and creamy hummus, use less liquid when blending.
Thin Hummus – Add more liquid, such as water, lemon juice, aquafaba, milk, or oil to achieve a lighter, silkier hummus.
