Ingredients
Scale
For the Hummus
- 1 - 15oz can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed- Save the liquid of the can of chickpeas
- 1/2 cup tahini
- 1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup of water or the water you saved from the can of chickpeas (also called Aquafaba)
For the Shawarma Mushrooms
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1lb mushrooms of your choice, sliced
- 2 tsp shawarma spice mix, homemade or store-bought
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
To make the hummus:
- Combine the chickpeas, tahini, salt, lemon and water or aquafaba in a food processor and process until smooth and creamy, at least 2 minutes. Add more water, one tablespoon at a time, for a thinner hummus
To make the shawarma mushrooms
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Add the sliced mushrooms, shawarma spice and salt. Toss well until the mushrooms are coated with the spices
- Cook over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes, or until the water the mushrooms will release has cooked out completely
- Before serving, spread the hummus in a plate and top with shawarma mushrooms, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of the shawarma spice mix
Notes
- Make sure you process the hummus in the food processor for at least 2 minutes to get a really creamy hummus
- Taste the hummus and adjust salt and lemon to your taste
- Hummus and mushrooms can be made 3-4 days ahead. Just top the hummus with the shawarma mushrooms right before serving
- Always use good quality tahini and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Our favorite tahini brands are Soom, Al Arzi, Mighty Sesame, and 365 Brand.
