Ingredients

  • 1 15- ounce can chickpeas drained, reserve the canning liquid
  • 2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic mashed
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • fine sea salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional: sumac or paprika

Instructions

  • In a food processor, process the chickpeas (not the liquid!), lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic and cumin until well blended (stop and scrape down bowl as needed).
  • With motor running, slowly drizzle in canning liquid (also known as aquafaba), a little at a time, until very smooth and creamy (stop and scrape down bowl once or twice; you may not need all of the liquid). Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer to a small serving bowl and sprinkle with sumac or paprika, if desired.

Notes

Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
