Hummus II

Add to Favorites

Hummus is a must-have for every kitchen. The great thing about hummus is that you can break the monotony of eating one thing too many times by effortlessly adapting it to get a sweet and sour flavor, a sweet and spicy flavor, a smoky flavor, or even a fruity flavor, depending on your choice of ingredients.

This Hummus recipe has the juice and peel of an orange. This will add a unique citrusy sweetness with a very mild tang that can still be felt without being too overpowering. The addition of lemon zest complements the orange zest well.
Whether boiling the chickpeas yourself or using canned chickpeas, reserve the liquid (aquafaba) to help add moisture to the hummus. For an authentic taste, only canned goods if you have an option. (You can use the leftover aquafaba as an egg replacement in vegan baking.)

Combine all ingredients in a power blender and pulse until super creamy. Taste to gauge whether you need to adjust the flavor, then enjoy this fresh citrus-flavored hummus with pita crackers, veggie sticks, bread, crackers, or other meal of choice.
