Spiced Hazelnut Hummus

(from sanch144’s recipe box)

Categories: Side Dish

Ingredients

  • 1 can cannellini white beans, drained
  • 1/2 can garbanzo beans, drained
  • 1/4 cup hazelnut oil (you can also olive oil – but the hazelnut flavor won’t be as intense)
  • 1/2 cup hazelnuts
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg
  • dash of cayenne
  • 1-2 Tbsp maple syrup (depending how sweet you want it)
  • 1 tsp truffle salt (to taste)
  • 2 Tbsp tahini
  • 2-3 Tbsp lemon juice*
  • *if you want more of a tangy hummus dip – add in a few more splashes of acid (either cider vinegar, orange juice or lemon juice)

Directions

  1. Blend until smooth. Add hazelnuts into the blend last. Add more oil for a more decadent dip. For best “hummus textured” results – use a Vitamix or high speed blender. Serve warmed.Drizzle hazelnut oil over top.

  2. Garnish with spice, pepper and hazelnuts.

  3. Plate this hummus alongside a few other hummus varieties and let party-goers taste the fun assortment of flavors. This sweet and savory dip would pair perfectly with a prosecco beverage for mom and dad! Cheers to hummus
