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:

16 oz chickpeas
450g
1/4 cup lemon juice
60g
1/4 cup sesame butter
60g
1 tbsp olive oil
14g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1/2 tsp salt
3g
5 stalks celery
200g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chickpeas:
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas thoroughly. Set aside.
2. Prepare the Celery:
- Wash and chop the celery stalks into small pieces.
3. Blender or Food Processor Preparation:
- In a blender or food processor, combine the chickpeas and chopped celery.
4. Add the Other Ingredients:
- Add the lemon juice, sesame butter (tahini), minced garlic, olive oil, and salt to the blender or food processor.
5. Blend Until Smooth:
- 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.
6. Adjust Consistency and Flavor:
- 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.
7. Serve:
- Transfer the celery hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle a little extra olive oil on top for a nice finish, if desired.
8. Enjoy:
- 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.
