It’s hummus.
But it tastes like pizza.
This initially started out as regular hummus. I’d never made my own hummus before, so I trusted a recipe from Vegnews. It was easy enough to make, but the finished product tasted quite bland.
In an effort to jazz up the flavor, I turned to Hunts (as I often do when a recipe needs a flavor boost).  And then, little by little, plain-jane hummus morphed into…
Super Pizza Hummus!
With super powers.
Maybe it needs a theme song… Anyone want to work on that?
Melty Pizza Hummus
(gluten-free)
Found here: Healthy Recipes with Beans
- 1/2 cup cooked garbanzo beans (drained) (75g)
- 2-4Â tbsp nutritional yeast
- heaping 1/2 tsp dry basil
- heaping 1/8 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup plus 2Â tbsp basil-and-garlic tomato sauce (90g) (Or plain tomato sauce, and add a little extra basil and garlic) (I used Hunts.)
- 1 tbsp olive oil (For a fat-free dip, you can omit. But you’ll lose the richer the flavor.)
Combine all ingredients in a food processor and blend very well, until there are no chunks left. (I used a Cuisinart.) Scoop into a serving dish, and serve with chips, raw veggies, or whatever else strikes your fancy. Or use as a spread for sandwiches or toasted bread. (If you like your hummus cold, chill in the fridge before serving.) Fridged in a closed container, this’ll keep at least a few days.

Do you like hummus?
Have you ever tried a flavored one? Oddly enough, the best hummus I’ve ever eaten was in Hong Kong. I was there for a varsity tennis tournament, and we stumbled upon this tiny Middle Eastern restaurant one night. Have you ever noticed some of the best food can be found in those hole-in-the-wall places?

I hate hummus but this looks so good!
I love hummus but I have to watch my bean intake. I love it, but they don’t love me back 🙂
Wow.. I’m drooling over here..
I have been craving pizza but have been too lazy to actually whip up some pizza dough, sauce and cheeze sauce.. this is a perfect alternative!!
What a recipe! I don’t think I’ve had anything like this. Yum!
Wow this looks amazing!! I love hummus and this is going to be made soon like tomorrow.
Now this is just amazing and sounds super delicious. I eat hummus ALL the time, so this is right up my alley and I am shocked that I did not think of this! So simple and healthy too. 🙂
omgoodness, this sounds insane! two of my favorite things in one? my head is exploding…i am soo going to try this…i feel like this is one of those life-altering recipes, haha. you can’t really blame me though, vegans LOVE their hummus!
Love the idea of adding nooch to the mix!
What a great idea! There are so many things I can think of that would taste delicious to dip in this: pita, celery, french bread, broccoli, pineapple rings…Yum!
Im not a fan of plain hummus, its too bland. This looks great!
I love hummus and this looks so good!
‘Normal’ hummus isn’t really my thing but I just made this and it’s very good! Next time, I’ll use a bit less nutritional yeast though. I love the pizza cutter in the background of the picture, you’re very creative 🙂
i LOVE my hommus, i make my own all the time because its so quick and easy.
I don’t know how your hommus could have been bland though?? Chuck in some lemon juice, garlic and cumin and it will be deeelicious!
oh. my. I wish I had a food processor at uni so I could make this right now!! I adore hummus, normal, dessert or flavored. This one sounds brilliant 🙂
Mmmm both the pizza and chocolate hummus’ look so good! I love the roasted red pepper flavor and also the spinach artichoke kind, which I believe is made my PitaPal. 🙂
I can’t wait to try this recipe..saving it for sure!!!
