Gazpacho Hummus with Vegetables and Hummus
Well, I am sure that you know by now that I am on a quest to make as many variety of delicious hummus as my brain and taste bud can. I made orange hummus by using sweet potato, I made green one by using avocado. I used yellow beet for one recipe and red beet for burgundy hummus and cannellini bean for a white hummus. Black hummus still still elude me. I used black beans with coco powder and that did not work. It tasted like soil. So I tried black beans with squid ink. The mixture never looked like proper spread. It looked like liquid cement and it smelled so bad that I had to dump the spread into trash bag and took it out to the dumpster right away.
After couple days of resting my taste bud I moved on to new recipe. The recipe came to me while I am enjoying of bowl of gazpacho. I thought why not mix hummus with some vegetables and see what happened.
I pureed half of the garbanzo bean into coarse mixture in order to add more texture. And then, I pureed the rest of garbanzo beans into smooth paste.
I Added tahini, garlic, lemon, vegetables and salt. Now I have have great vegan and gluten free hummus.
