Coconut Cashew Curry Hummus (Vegan, GF)

Nothing says vegan like good old hummus! I don't know if you guys remember our review on Living Intentions Raw Nuts, but one of my favourite varieties was the Thai Curry Cashews and Coconuts. I am such a fan of cashew butter as well, I bought some in bulk and wanted to put it to good use and not just eat it out of the jar like many of us do :P And the colour is so sunshine yellowy it's stunning! Enjoy!

You are my sunshine

My only sunshine

You make me happy with carrot sticks


1 1/2 cup chickpeas
1/4 cup water
2 tbsp cashew butter
1 clove garlic
1/2 tsp ginger, or 1 tsp fresh minced ginger
Juice of half a lemon
3 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp shredded coconut (ground down)
1 1/2 tsp curry powder
1 tsp coconut nectar
Salt and Pepper
Roasted cashews (garnish)

*Magic Bullet Friendly* Combine chickpeas, water, lemon juice, garlic, ginger (if fresh) and oil in the bullet with cross blade (or food processor). Pour chickpea paste into a medium bowl. Add all other ingredients. Makes enough hummus for 6 people, w/ carrot sticks and chips!

    This looks fantastic. is coconut nectar different from oil/sugar/flakes? i can't believe you've totally stumped me!

    @Happyolks: coconut nectar is a unique product, I believe there is only one company that makes it: Coconut Secret:

    http://www.coconutsecret.com/nectar2.html

    it's a low-glycemic sweetener derived from the nectar of coconuts, before it is granulated into coconut sugar.

    you can substitute any liquid sweetener :)

    Guilty to eating cashew butter from the jar with a spoon! This combination looks and sounds amazing, and I do currently have a lot of cashews in my fridge...

    Sounds wonderful! I love using nut butter in hummus (chickpeas plus almond is heavenly)--this sounds sooo rich and yummy. And I bet the garlic, ginger and curry create a fantastic flavor in this.
