Hummus In The Blender Recipes

FALAFEL AND HUMMUS IN A BLENDER RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the falafel: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 375°F (190°C).
• Add the shallot, parsley, and garlic to a blender and pulse until coarsely chopped. Add the chickpeas, cumin, coriander, pepper, salt, flour, and olive oil and blend until combined, but still slightly chunky, 15-20 pulses, scraping down the sides of the blender as needed. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and rinse out the blender.
• Scoop the falafel mixture into 2-tablespoon portions and gently roll into balls, then flatten slightly. Place on the prepared baking sheet. You should have about 12 balls.
• Working in batches, fry the falafel balls in the hot oil for 2-4 minutes, until dark golden brown. Transfer to paper towel-lined plate to drain, then arrange on a serving platter, garnish with parsley, and set aside while you make the dips.
• Make the roasted red pepper hummus: Add the chickpeas, roasted red peppers, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, paprika, pepper, and salt to the blender. Purée until smooth, adding the water 1 tablespoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached. Transfer to a serving bowl and rinse out the blender.
• Make the tzatziki sauce: Add the cucumber, yogurt, lemon juice, garlic, dill, mint to the blender. Purée until mostly smooth, but still with some texture. Transfer to a serving bowl and top with more dill.
• Serve the falafel, hummus, and tzatziki with pitas, red onion, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber.
• Enjoy!

SIMPLE BLENDER HUMMUS

CLASSIC HUMMUS IN THE BLENDER

Steps:

• Remove and discard outer skin of chickpeas. This is not necessary, but I find it gives a smoother consistency to the hummus. You can skip this step if you like or are pinched for time.
• Place chickpeas, salt, black pepper, garlic, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, cumin and water (start with about 3 to 4 tablespoons of water) in a high-powered blender and blend, stopping to scrape sides of blender, as necessary, with a rubber spatula.Note: If you like, you can reserve some chickpeas for garnish.
• With the blender going, slowly drizzle in more water (a tablespoon at a time), as necessary, and blend until you've reached your desired consistency.
• Transfer hummus to a serving bowl and garnish to taste (if desired) with any of the garnish ideas. Serve and enjoy!Note: Enjoy immediately or properly store in an airtight container in your refrigerator and enjoy within 3 to 4 days.
• Remove and discard outer skin of chickpeas. This is not necessary, but I find it gives a smoother consistency to the hummus. You can skip this step if you like or are pinched for time.
• Place chickpeas in a food processor (if you want to garnish the hummus with some, reserve a few for later, otherwise they all go in the processor). Process for about 1 minute. Once stopped, scrape sides of processor with a rubber spatula.Note: If you like, you can reserve some chickpeas for garnish.
• Add salt, pepper, garlic, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil and cumin. Process again for another 3 minutes, stopping to scrape sides of processor, as necessary.
• With processor going, drizzle in water (start with 3 to 4 tablespoons) and process for about 3 minutes. When everything is smooth, creamy and combined, taste for seasoning and blend in a little more if you like. Also, if you want a looser or thinner consistency, blend in a little more water.Note: As mentioned, start with 3 tablespoons of water and add more later if you want things looser or thinner. It's easier to add than take away. If you didn't peel the chickpeas, it is likely that you will have to add a little more water.
• Transfer hummus to a serving bowl and garnish to taste (if desired) with any of the garnish ideas. Serve and enjoy!Note: Enjoy immediately or properly store in an airtight container in your refrigerator and enjoy within 3 to 4 days.
