Hummus II – Candida Diet Recipe

I can never get my hummus smooth and creamy and it is irritating.  The am just never able to puree the beans without un-appetizing chunks being leftover.  My absolute favorite hummus comes from George’s Cafe and Grill in Ridgefield Park NJ.  This is the best hummus I have ever tasted and it makes it hard to choke down my mediocre attempts at this wonderful dip.  Generally speaking most hummus recipes are made with candida diet friendly ingredients.  The varieties of hummus in the store are not candida diet friendly because they contain citric acid to preserve freshness. 

I recently bought Bob’s Red Mill Garbanzo Bean Flour (Chickpea Flour) to make a Gluten/Yeast Free Pizza crust and noticed a recipe for hummus on the back of the bag.  This recipe inspired me to take another stab at making my own hummus again.  I was hoping that since I was using flour instead of trying to puree the actual chickpeas that this may help my consistency problem.  I did omit the tabasco sauce one because I didn’t have any and two because I don’t think that tabasco sauce is a candida diet friendly ingredient.  The result was really tasty.  This hummus is still not George’s but it is candida diet friendly hummus that even my kids like.  It also came out smooth and creamy just the way I like it.   

Hummus Ingredients – Candida Diet Recipe
3/4 cup Garbanzo Bean Flour (Chickpea Flour)
2 1/2 cups water
2 – 3 cloves Garlic Cloves, finely minced about 1 Tbsp (The amount depends on your taste.  I love garlic so always opt for more)
1/4 cup unsweetened chicken broth
1/4 cup tahini (sesame paste)
Juice of 1 lemon
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
Sea salt and ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup olive oil

Hummus Directions – Candida Diet Recipe

In medium saucepan bring 2 1/2 cups water to boil.  Add garbanzo bean flour to boiling water using whisk.  Continue to stir mixture constantly.  Reduce heat and cook for additional 1 – 2 minutes while mixture becomes thick.  Let the mixture cool! 
 

Add the garbanzo flour mixture (Once it has cooled!), garlic, chicken broth, sesame paste and lemon juice to the blender jar or food processor bowl and puree until smooth.  Now add cumin, sea salt, pepper and continue to puree.  Using the feed tube or the little hole in the cover or the blender top SLOWLY drip the olive oil into the mixture while it is continue to puree.  This will help think the mixture to give it a good consistency.
