Notes

  • Tomato Paste Tip: Tomato paste thickness can vary by brand. If your hummus seems too thick, add a small amount of water or olive oil until you reach your desired consistency.
  • Adjust Heat: Start with a little crushed red pepper and adjust to taste to prevent it from becoming too spicy.
  • Bean Options: You can substitute other mild beans like navy or white beans for a different flavor and color.
  • Cheese Options: For a non-dairy version, consider adding a small amount of powdered parmesan.
  • For Easier Digestion: Follow tips for How to De-Gas Beans before making this hummus to reduce gas symptoms.
