Soy Hummus Recipes

SOY HUMMUS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place garlic on a piece of aluminum foil and drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil. Wrap in foil and place on a small baking sheet. Place in oven and bake until tender, about 45 minutes. Remove from oven. Let stand until cool enough to handle. Squeeze garlic from skins, discarding skins; set garlic aside.
• In the bowl of a food processor, combine the soy beans, garlic, tahini, lemon juice, and parsley. Process until smooth. Transfer to a medium bowl, and season with salt. Cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before using.

HUMMUS FROM SCRATCH

Steps:

• Rinse the garbanzos and soybeans, and place them in a pressure cooker along with the bay leaf and onion. Add vegetable broth and enough water to cover the beans by 1 inch (or follow the manufacturer's instructions for the minimum amount of liquid required).
• Seal the lid and bring the pressure up to high; reduce the heat to low and cook, maintaining high pressure, for 1 hour. Allow the pressure to drop naturally.
• Drain the beans, reserving the liquid. Place the beans in the bowl of a food processor. Add the garlic, lemon juice, soy sauce, black pepper, and tahini; process until smooth. (You may add some of the cooking liquid for a thinner consistency.) Scoop the mixture into a bowl, and mix in the parsley.

EDAMAME HUMMUS

Steps:

• Microwave edamame, covered, on high until tender, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a food processor; add the next 8 ingredients. Process until smooth, 1-2 minutes. Serve with assorted fresh vegetables and rice crackers.

WASABI AND SOY SAUCE HUMMUS

Steps:

• Combine about 1/2 the chickpeas, soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, tahini, wasabi powder, garlic, and black pepper in a blender; blend until smooth, scraping down the sides of the blender bowl with a spatula to assure ingredients fully integrated. Scrape mixture into a bowl.
• Put remaining chickpeas into the blender, reserving 5 to 7 individual beans for later use. Blend until smooth, adding reserved liquid from the cans if moisture is needed to get them smooth; add to the prior batch and stir.
• Make a shallow pool in the center of the hummus with the back of a spoon; garnish with reserved chickpeas and a small amount of olive oil.
• Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
