Ingredients

Intense lemon & garlic hummus

200 g chickpeas**
4 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoon lemon juice
½ head baked garlic* (see notes) or ¼ tsp. garlic powder (more to taste)
1 pinch of salt

Mild beetroot hummus

200 g chickpeas**
150 g pre-cooked beetroots vacuum-packed
2 tablespoon beet juice save the juice when draining
2 teaspoon (raspberry) balsamic vinegar more to taste
1 pinch of salt
1 pinch of pepper my favorite is Sichuan pepper

Fresh basil hummus

200 g chickpeas**
4 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoon water
1 whole bunch (30 g) of fresh basil
1 teaspoon Italian spice blend
1 pinch of salt

Instructions

Optionally skin the chickpeas for a smoother result.
For each variation, blend all the ingredients in a small blender until a smooth paste forms.

Notes

*Bake the garlic head: cut off the top of the garlic head and brush it with olive oil. Wrap it in aluminum and bake it in the oven for 40min at 180°C. Remove from the oven and let cool. Press the baked garlic out of its skin using your thumb and your forefinger. As this recipe only calls for half a head of garlic, try the garlic dressing from this recipe with the remaining garlic.

**The liquid of canned chickpeas, also called aquafaba, can be turned into a vegan foam (similar to whipped egg whites). Try my 2-ingredient vegan chocolate mousse if you want to make your starter and your dessert from canned chickpeas!
