What You'll Need:
- Blender (or food processor)
- Large pot
- 3-4 small sweet potatoes
- 1/2 large lemon (or one small one)
- 2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 can of chickpeas
- 1/4 cup of tahini
- 1 crushed clove of garlic
- 1/4 tsp of sea salt
- Plenty twists of fresh black pepper
- 1/2 tsp tumeric powder
- 1/2 tsp coriander powder
- 1/2 tsp chilli powder
- 1/4 cup filtered water
What You'll Do:
- Boil your water
- Peel your potatoes
- Chop your potatoes into smaller cubes so they boil quickly
- Once boiling, place your potato pieces into the boiling water and cook until very tender
- When the potatoes are boiling, get your blender (or food processor) ready
- Rinse and drain your chickpeas then add into your blender
- Squeeze the juice of your lemon into the chickpeas
- Pour in the tahini and extra virgin olive oil
- Add in your crushed garlic
- Sprinkle in your tumeric, coriander powder, chili powder, sea salt and ground pepper
- Your boiling potatoes should be ready by now
- Drain them and then add into your blender
- Blend until smooth
- I had to add a little filtered water to ensure it had a nice and creamy texture
- That's it!
If you are a dipper, I love to dip raw veggies into hummus, corn chips, and whole-wheat pitas.
If you like things with a kick - add more chili and make this hummus nice and spicy.
The STEWART SCORE:

Taste: 2
