Chef's Note
- Lightly toasting your sesame seeds in a pan or on the stovetop before blending is a great way to add extra flavor to your hummus. Fresh fruit gives a healthy burst of flavor (and whole food benefits).The liquid from the chickpeas is called aquafaba. This is a great ingredient that can be used to replace olive oil in some recipes as a liquid, or even whipped into a foam.
