💡 Legumes get a bad rep amongst people that bottom but their rep is not well deserved. More often than not, people experience bad gas from legumes because they simply don't eat them enough. Legumes (like chickpeas) are packed with fiber and protein, making them a perfect bottom-friendly snack. The more often you eat legumes, the more your body adapts to them. Start off with a small serving and work your way from there. If you're someone who has IBS, specifically you're sensitive to fructans and galactans found in legumes, you'll want to steer clear of this recipe for now.
Hummus Ingredients
- 2 cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed really well
- 1 clove of garlic
- 1/2 C tahini (use as much as your heart desires)
- 2 tbsp lemon juice (use as much as your heart desires)
- 2 tsp cumin
- 2 tsp salt
- 2-3 ice cubes
- 1-3 tbsp ice water (use more as needed)
- Olive oil, finishing salt, and paprika for topping
Hummus Directions
Step 1
Place the drained and rinsed chickpeas in a small saucepan and boil over high heat for 15 minutes. Drain the chickpeas, rinse again, and immediately transfer them to a blender.
Step 2
To a small sauté pan, add 1/2 tbsp olive oil and once hot, fry the garlic for 30 seconds. Transfer the garlic to the blender and add the remaining ingredients except for the ice and ice water. Begin to blend the hummus, scraping the sides of blender down every once in awhile. Be patient as every blender is different!
Step 3
Once the hummus is pretty smooth, add the ice and blend again for 3-5 minutes, adding ice water as needed to help the blending process. Once the hummus is silky smooth, transfer it to an airtight container or top with olive oil, salt, and paprika to be eaten up with cucumbers, bell peppers, carrots, or pita! Bottoms up!
