I wasn’t crazy about raw hummus when I first tried it, I thought the uncooked garbanzo beans gave it a bitter aftertaste. I decided to do my own recipe, and after some experimenting, I am convinced that this is the best raw hummus recipe out there! In fact, I have grown to like this better than any cooked hummus I’ve had.
Ingredients
- 3 cups dry garbanzo beans (soaked, sprouted, and rinsed)
- 4 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 lime, juiced
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 carrot, chopped or shredded
- 1/2 cup oil (olive oil, flax seed oil, and coconut oil blend, equal parts)
- teaspoons sea salt
- 1 teaspoon ground pepper or ground papaya seed
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 3 tablespoons cilantro finely chopped
- jalapeño pepper, ground cayenne pepper, or other spice (or hot sauce) to taste
