Easy Low FODMAP Hummus Recipe

November 11, 2019 Comments : 8

This easy low FODMAP hummus recipe is a weekly staple in our home!

My husband and I are big fans of Mediterranean food. We discovered this by accident several years ago shortly after getting married. A new Turkish restaurant had just opened up right down the road from us and sent out coupons to all of the locals. I love coupons!

The Hidden Gem

One evening we decided to make it a date night and give this new place a try. The restaurant was located in a humble little strip mall and didn’t look like anything too special from the outside, but the interior of this restaurant was absolutely stunning! The walls themselves were made of a beautiful dark mahogany and adorned with pretty sconces, and a large chandelier hung from the ceiling. I was immediately drawn in. It was all so romantic and reminded me of the interior of the Titanic. Our evening there became the first of many. The appetizer bread, special dipping oil, and our chicken kebab entrees all tasted heavenly! This quickly became our favorite restaurant.

Even after moving 45 minutes away we continued to drive out there several times a year for a special date night until it recently closed last year. It was taken over by a Lebanese restaurant and is surprisingly still just as delicious! All of that to say that Mediterranean cultures do a lot of things right. One of those being their ability to create mouthwatering food!

The invention of hummus originated within these cultures. I decided try my hand at creating my own version and the result is this easy low Fodmap hummus recipe which has become a go to lunch and snack option for me. It is so versatile and easy to whip up.

A Secret Step

While researching the uniqueness of Mediterranean hummus, I discovered there is a secret step that we often skip while preparing it here. By simply boiling a can of chickpeas and adding a bit of baking soda, the ph level of the water will raise and help break down the coating of the beans creating a smoother hummus in the end. I’ve made this hummus recipe both ways, boiling the beans first or simply pouring the can directly into the food processor. Although the taste remains the same there is something special about the smooth whipped consistency of the boiled version. I hope you enjoy this easy low FODMAP hummus recipe, a healthy and flavorful favorite of mine!

Easy Low Fodmap Hummus Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 15 oz can chickpeas
  • 1/2 cup of Tahini (I’d recommend one imported from the Mediterranean area.)
  • 2 lemons (about 1/3 cup of juice)
  • 1 tsp Cumin
  • 1 tsp Corriander
  • 1/2 tsp Cayanne Pepper
  • 2 Tbsp- 1/4 cup of cold water (depending on if you’ve boiled the chickpeas or not)
  • 2 1/2 tsp garlic infused olive oil
  • a good sprinkling of sea salt

Directions

  1. If preparing silky smooth version, add chickpeas to a pan, cover with water, and add 1 tsp baking soda. Bring to a boil and then simmer for 15-20 mins.
  2. Strain chickpeas and then add them back to the pan with some cold water. Massage beans until the skins become loose and float to the top. Scoop up skins with your hands, discard, and strain again. You may also choose to skip these extra steps if the consistency of the hummus isn’t important to you and begin at step #3.
  3. Add all ingredients to a food processor except water.
  4. Slowly add water a little bit at a time while blending until you get your desired thickness.
  5. Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and sprinkle of Paprika. Enjoy!

    This was so good and easy! I left out the cayenne and added black pepper. I decided to take the extra step and remove the skins and it was so creamy!

    This was my first time trying a homemade hummus recipe. I had always been intimidated by the idea of making homemade hummus. The recipe is fantastic. I did take the extra step, however time consuming it was, to peel the chickpeas and it paid off, it was the creamiest hummus I’ve ever had! I will need to play with the proportions of water and lemon juice next time to have it a little thicker but all in all it was a successful first attempt and I will definitely try this recipe again.

    I have made this hummus several times and it tastes fantastic every time. So much better than what you buy in the store. I make the smooth version; it’s completely worth the extra time to boil and remove the chickpea skins. This hummus freezes really well. Thanks so much for this recipe!

    Do you drain the canned chicken peas first before adding to the pot or doesn’t that matter since you’re draining them after boiling, anyway?

      Hello Nancy,
      Yes, I would drain and rinse them before adding to the pot. Thanks so much for reaching out!
