Instructions
Begin by preparing the white beans. If using a can, drain the beans and rinse them under cold water. Reserve the aquafaba for later use.
In the bowl of a food processor, add the drained white beans, lemon juice, tahini, minced garlic, extra virgin olive oil, and ground cumin. Blend together until the mixture starts to become smooth.
As the food processor is running, gradually add the reserved aquafaba, tablespoon by tablespoon, until the hummus reaches the desired consistency. We like a smooth and creamy texture.
Give the white bean hummus a taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Add the finished hummus to a low bowl and create a swirl using the back of a spoon. Drizzle in some extra virgin olive oil and then add a sprinkle of cumin or sumac.
