Prep Time: 12 min
Cook Time: 3 min
Ready In: 1 hour and 15 min
Servings: 8
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/8 tsp salt
2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 Tbsp tahini
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 Tbsp asparagus cooking water
1 pinch cayenne pepper
3/4 lb asparagus, cut into 1 inch pieces
1 (15 oz can) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1. Bring salted water in a saucepan to a boil over high heat and also prepare a bowl filled with ice water. Add the asparagus and cook for 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and immediately place into the bowl with the ice water to stop the cooking.
2. Place all the ingredients and the cooled asparagus in a food processor and process until smooth. If the hummus appears too thick, add more water, a tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.
3. Season with salt and lemon juice to taste; store in the refrigerator for an hour. Serve in a bowl with pita bread or fresh vegetables and drizzle with olive oil.
