'Tis the season for unique, creative appetizers! This year, we've teamed up with our friends at Brothers All Natural to bring you a delicious and unique take on hummus that's sure to be the talk of the table.
Our Strawberry Hummus pairs traditional savory hummus ingredients with a touch of manuka honey and freeze-dried strawberries. It's the unexpected flavor duo your guests didn't expect, but will definitely want more of.
Luckily, this recipe is as easy to make as it is to devour, so you can whip up a new batch when the first disappears 😉
.
Ingredients:
- 1 can (15 oz) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) olive oil, plus additional for serving
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 1-2 garlic cloves, minced (About 1 teaspoon)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 1/2 tablespoons Manuka honey
- 1/4 cup freeze-dried strawberries (About 1/4 oz or 7 grams), crushed into powder (Reserve 1 teaspoon for garnish)
- Juice of 1 large lemon (About 3 tablespoons)
- 1-2 tablespoons water, as needed
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
Instructions:
1 - Prepare the Freeze-Dried Strawberries: Place the freeze-dried strawberries in a ziplock bag, seal, and crush them into a fine powder using a rolling pin or your hands. Set aside 1 teaspoon of the powder for garnish.
2 - Blend the Hummus: In a food processor, add chickpeas, 1/4 cup olive oil, 1/4 cup tahini, minced garlic, cumin, Manuka honey, lemon juice, and most of the crushed freeze-dried strawberry powder.
Blend until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides as needed.
3 - Adjust Consistency: If the hummus is too thick, add water 1 tablespoon at a time, blending after each addition until you reach the desired consistency.
4 - Season to Taste: Add sea salt as needed, tasting to adjust for sweetness or acidity with additional Manuka honey or lemon juice if desired.
5 - Serve: Spoon the hummus into a serving bowl. Drizzle with Manuka honey, then sprinkle the reserved strawberry powder on top for a colorful touch.
Garnish with a few extra freeze-dried strawberry pieces.
6 - Enjoy: Serve with pita, fresh veggies, or as a unique spread.
