Remember when I used to cook?
After a wonderful weekend, which included a repeat visit to my new favorite play, it felt so right to finally prepare a real meal tonight. As we’re currently enduring a wave of heat and humidity (no complaints from this 90 degree lover), I didn’t want to touch the oven or stove. So, I pulled out my favorite new best friend, the food processor.
I’ve wanted to whip together my own hummus since I got the machine, but I’m also making up for an unfortunate two week avocado break due to vacation. And then I thought, well, why not combine the two?
hummamole (or guacammus, if you prefer)
- 2 c cooked chickpeas (or 1 15 oz can)
- 1 avocado
- 2 T tahini
- 3 sun dried tomatoes
- juice of 1 lime
- 1/2 T agave
- 1 T chili powder
- 1/4 c (or more) cilantro
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tomato, chopped
Grind chickpeas in food processor. Add tahini and sun dried tomatoes; blend with chickpeas. Add avocado, blend again. Add lime juice, agave, chili powder, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Blend again. Remove from food processor; stir in tomato and more cilantro, if desired.
I’m currently without any pita or cracker, so I served it in my favorite way to enjoy hummus or guacamole: on a big chopped salad. Hummus and guac are my salad dressings of choice; hummamole was a worthy stand-in.
Alongside roadside sweet corn on the cob. This was very, very, very yummy.
If you had to choose, would you go for hummus or guac?

Guac for sure!
Though this looks interesting – might have to try this out soon!
I absolutely love your photographs – they’re always so creative & interesting! I bought some pre-made hummamola (well, avohummus is what it was called) and it was great, but I didn’t even think to make my own. I’ll try this sometime next week.
Oh, and to answer the question: guac wins, all the time.
This looks amazing — I’ll definitely try this when I’m back in the States.
I looove guac but what I crave always is hummus. The more, the better.
That looks absolutely delicious! I love layering avocado and hummus in my wraps/sandwiches so mixing the two just looks like an utter foodgasm of creamy goodness!
mmmm this looks fantastic! I need to get some sun dried tomatoes, they’re so good!
Adore this recipe! I love guac and hummus equally, but if I had to choose, it’d be hummus. The texture is just to die for!
I would go for good guac, but I do love the combination! Looks like the perfect dinner for tonight’s weather! We had salads too, with lots of homemade pesto :)
YES! a combination of the two best things ever!
While I love guacomole I think I would have to say hummus. I love how there are so many different flavors available!
Hmmm…that’s a tough one, but I would have to say avocado over hummus. Love them both, but I love the creaminess of the avocado in my salads!
Now combining the two? We have a winner!
That sounds incredible! I have never had guacamole though I am 99.9% sure I would absolutely LOVE it! Huh. I confuse myself sometimes…lol.
that looks so yummy! i LOVE hummus– i find guac a bit too bland for me– but i think your creation would be just perfect :)
thanks for your kind comments xoxoxox
Sheer genius! That looks awesome. But if I had to choose I’d probably go with guac.
If I had to pick I would go with hummus, but this is an excellent idea!!! Thanks. :D
This recipe is excellent – I can’t wait to try this – so creative, awesome post :)
