Celery hummus with garlic and olive oil is a delightful twist on the traditional hummus recipe. This variation incorporates the fresh, crisp flavor of celery, perfectly balanced with the rich creaminess of chickpeas. Easy to prepare and nutritious, this hummus makes for a delicious dip or spread that can elevate any meal or snack.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly. Set aside.
- Wash and chop the celery stalks into small pieces.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the chickpeas and chopped celery.
- Add the lemon juice, sesame butter (tahini), minced garlic, olive oil, and salt to the blender or food processor.
- Blend all ingredients until a smooth and creamy consistency is achieved. You may need to stop and scrape down the sides of the container a few times to ensure everything is well-combined.
- Check the consistency of your hummus. If it's too thick, you can add a tablespoon of water at a time until you reach your desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, lemon juice, or olive oil as preferred.
- Transfer the celery hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle a little extra olive oil on top for a nice finish, if desired.
- Serve with fresh vegetables, pita bread, or crackers. Enjoy your homemade celery hummus!
Tips:
- For a smoother texture, peel the chickpeas after draining them. This extra step can significantly improve the creaminess of your hummus.
- Adjust the amount of garlic to suit your preference. If you like a stronger garlic flavor, add an additional clove.
- If your hummus is too thick, add a little water or more lemon juice to achieve the desired consistency.
- For added flavor, consider toasting the sesame seeds before making the sesame butter or use pre-made tahini.
- Experiment with different toppings like a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of paprika, or chopped fresh herbs to customize your hummus.
Making celery hummus with garlic and olive oil is a straightforward process that yields a flavorful and healthy addition to your kitchen repertoire. Whether you're serving it with fresh vegetables, pita bread, or using it as a spread in sandwiches, this hummus is sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
