Ingredients

  • 1 can of chickpeas, with its flavorful liquid set aside
  • 3 tbsp of soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp of olive oil, or adjust to your liking
  • 2 tbsp of zesty lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp of creamy tahini for added richness
  • 1 tbsp of pungent wasabi powder
  • 1 single clove of garlic
  • ¼ tsp of aromatic ground black pepper

Step 1

Mix together some of the chickpeas, soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, tahini, wasabi powder, garlic, and black pepper in a blender until it's silky smooth. Remember to scrape down the sides with a spatula to ensure everything is well combined. Transfer this creamy blend into a bowl.

Step 2

Next, blend the rest of the chickpeas in the blender, setting aside a few for later. If the mixture seems too thick, you can add some of the liquid from the cans. Combine this second batch with the first one and give it a good stir.

Step 3

Create a little well in the middle of the hummus using the back of a spoon. Decorate it with the reserved chickpeas and a drizzle of olive oil.

Step 4

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving.
