Roasted-Shallot Hemp Hummus

 

Hummus has grown up in this delicious, sophisticated version that incorporates

roasted shallots and highly nutritious hemp. Are shallots totally fancy on their

own? Yes. Does roasting them make it seem like you went to culinary school? Yes!

Take advantage of your local farmers' market bounty and slather this dip on

sliced veggies of all sorts.

 

 

 

Makes about 2-1/2 cups

 

What You Need:

 

1 cup shallots, chopped

3-1/2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

1/8 + 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided

2 cups cooked chickpeas

3/4 cup shelled hemp seeds

3-1/2 to 4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, divided

1 medium garlic clove

Pinch of freshly ground black pepper

3 to 5 tablespoons water

 

 

 

What You Do:

 

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss

shallots with 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Bake for about 40

minutes, tossing occasionally, until golden brown.

 

2. In a food processor, combine chickpeas, hemp seeds, 3 tablespoons lemon

juice, garlic, 2-1/2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, pepper, and water (starting

with 3 tablespoons). Purée until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as

needed.

 

3. Once shallots are roasted, add to chickpea mixture and purée. Add extra water

to thin, if needed, and remaining tablespoon of lemon juice to taste.

Joseph, this sounds great! Would you mind posting a review after your

get together? My partner is crazy about shallots Peace, Mo
