Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium garlic clove
  • 2 15-­ounce cans chickpeas
  • 1 large lemon (1/4 cup lemon juice)
  • 1/4 cup aquafaba (liquid from the chickpea can) or water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 tablespoon peanut butter (or almond butter or cashew butter)

Instructions

  1. Peel the garlic. Drain the chickpeas into a liquid measuring cup, reserving the aquafaba (chickpea can liquid). Juice the lemon.
  2. Add the garlic to the bowl of a food processor and process until finely chopped. Add chickpeas, lemon juice, 1/4 cup aquafaba (or water), olive oil, kosher salt, cumin, and peanut butter. Puree for a few minutes until very creamy. Eat immediately or store refrigerated for up to 1 week.
