Cooking steps for Jackfruit Seed Hummus
- 1Let's check out the recipe of the unnoticed jackfruit seed hummus.
- 2First, clean up the jackfruit seeds well, removing any sticky membranes from the fruit. Place the cleaned seeds in a medium saucepan, adding enough water to cover them by at least an inch.
- 3Bring the water to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer. Cover the pan and let the seeds cook for 30-40 minutes until they're tender enough to pierce with a fork.
- 4Once cooked, drain the seeds and let them cool. As they cool, the hard, clear shells will start to loosen—perfect timing to peel them off carefully.
- 5Don't stress if some of the brown coating remains; it's edible and actually enhances the earthy flavor of the hummus.
- 6Now, the magic begins. In a food processor, combine the peeled jackfruit seeds with 1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil, 1/2 cup of vegetable broth, and 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt.
- 7Throw in three peeled garlic cloves for that bold punch of flavor, plus 1/4 cup of a silky garlic spread made from garlic, oil, lemon juice, and salt.
- 8Squeeze in the juice of one fresh lemon for a bright, citrusy kick to balance out the earthiness of the seeds and the pungency of the garlic.
- 9Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy, pausing to scrape down the sides if needed. If the texture feels too thick, drizzle in a little more olive oil or vegetable broth until it's just right.
- 10Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or lemon juice—it's your jackfruit seed hummus, so make it perfect for your palate.
- 11Scoop the creamy jackfruit seed hummus into a serving bowl and drizzle generously with olive oil for a luxurious finish.
- 12Top it off with fresh herbs like parsley, dill, or cilantro for a pop of color and a fragrant touch.
