Tara’s Tips for Perfect Oil-Free Green Olive Hummus:
- Chickpeas:
- 1 can (drained and rinsed)
- Or you can start with dry beans: place one cup of beans + 3 cups of water in instant pot, press manual and adjust timer to 60 minutes, allow pressure to release naturally, drain and cool.
- One and a half cups of cooked garbanzo beans = 1 can.
- How To Make Hummus Oil-Free:
- The SECRET ingredient in making perfect oil-free hummus? ICE WATER! Yep, you heard me correctly. Ice water. Works every time to create perfect consistency and you do not need the oil.
- Tahini:
- Make sure your tahini only has one ingredient: sesame seeds! You don’t need anything else in there!!!! Check your labels!
- Olives:
- Any green olive you love can be used here. Preferably, you should use plain, pitted green olives with no pimento in the center.
- Serving Ideas:
- With your favorite veggies, crackers, pita bread, in a wrap, on a sandwich, on a salad.
- Leftovers:
- Store in a glass, airtight container for up to 7 days. This does not freeze well because it does not defrost with a good consistency.
