Macadamia Nut Hummus
Introducing the Ultimate South African Hummus, a delightful twist on the classic favourite.
Infused with the nutty richness of macadamias, this hummus pays homage to South Africa, where macadamia trees flourish, making the country a major global exporter of these prized nuts.
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375F and spread the macadamia nuts out evenly onto a sheet pan. Once the oven is preheated, place the sheet pan in the oven just until the nuts are golden and look slightly wet (from the oils coming to the surface), 4 – 5 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
- Drain both cans of the chickpeas saving the liquid. Add the chickpeas to a food processor or high-speed blender and add 5 tablespoons of the saved liquid/water if it’s not enough can liquid.
- Add the tahini and 1 cup of the slightly cooled, roasted macadamia nuts to the food processor, followed by the garlic. Roughly chop the remaining 1/4 cup of nuts and set aside for garnish.
- Turn on the food processor/blender and blend until smooth. Then add the 3/4 cup of oil and salt and blend again.
- For serving spoon into a serving dish, drizzle with a bit more oil, sprinkle with the smoked paprika, and the roughly chopped nuts.
