All the condiments.
In the past few years I have become a self-proclaimed hummus addict. Now, I haven’t always been that way. Back in my younger years you couldn’t have even gotten me to try hummus. But after going gluten-free and totally re-hauling my diet I was ready to try just about anything. Including hummus.
Lacto-Fermented Hummus.
When I saw Wardeh Harmon’s recipe for lacto-fermented humus in her amazing book The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Fermenting Foods, I was excited to try it out.
I’m still not a huge condiment fan, but if there’s hummus to be had, I will be all over it. So will my kids.
This recipe is basically my Roasted Red Pepper Humus with Wardeh’s fermenting tips thrown in. I’m surprised the humus made it to the jar for its fermentation. I was eating it the whole way!

Lacto-Fermented Sprouted Hummus
Free from grain, gluten, eggs, and sugar.
Ingredients
- 2 c. sprouted and cooked chickpeas (Not sure how to sprout? Check out my post on it!)
- 1/2 c. water
- 1/3-1/2 c. olive oil
- 1/4 c. whey
- 1/4 c. tahini
- 1 lemon
- 2 t. granulated garlic
- 1 t. Himalayan salt
- 1/8 t. cumin
- 1/2 red pepper, roasted (optional)
Instructions
Put everything in a high-powered blender (I use a Blendtec) and puree until desired consistency is reached.
Pour into a wide-mouth quart canning jar and cover tightly with a lid.
Let stand at room temperature for at least 7-12 hours. I usually let it go 3 days.
Enjoy with veggies or homemade tortilla chips.
Refrigerate leftovers.
This awesome recipe came at the perfect time for me! I just started soaking some garbanzos yesterday to sprout and my plan was to lacto-ferment hummus! I'm actually going to be teaching a class on soaking and sprouting next Tuesday so the lacto-fermented sprouted hummus will be the perfect thing to share with everyone! I will try to remember to let you know how it goes. 🙂
Sweet! Hope you like it! I'll look forward to your report. : )
