What does nori (seaweed laver) taste like?

Recipe Summary Wasabi And Soy Sauce Hummus

A healthy hummus, with a sushi-like twist! This is my first ever published recipe, so please be honest and kind in your comments! For my first batch I tried adding a sheet of nori (seaweed). I do not recommend this, unless you REALLY like the flavor of nori, as it completely overpowered the other flavors. Maybe some small slices on top, as a garnish? I've found that this recipe makes a nice condiment on sandwiches, too!

Ingredients | What Is Nori Seaweed

1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained with liquid reserved

3 tablespoons soy sauce

2 tablespoons olive oil, or more to taste

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 tablespoon tahini (Optional)

1 tablespoon wasabi powder

1 clove garlic

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

Combine about 1/2 the chickpeas, soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, tahini, wasabi powder, garlic, and black pepper in a blender; blend until smooth, scraping down the sides of the blender bowl with a spatula to assure ingredients fully integrated. Scrape mixture into a bowl.

Put remaining chickpeas into the blender, reserving 5 to 7 individual beans for later use. Blend until smooth, adding reserved liquid from the cans if moisture is needed to get them smooth; add to the prior batch and stir.

Make a shallow pool in the center of the hummus with the back of a spoon; garnish with reserved chickpeas and a small amount of olive oil.

Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour.

This recipe is 'medium' hot. For a more mild hummus, use 2 teaspoons of powdered wasabi. For spicier hummus, use your own judgement!

I like my hummus somewhat thick and very creamy, but be aware that blending a mixture that is too thick, or for too long, can overheat your blender's motor, which can damage the blender. Try adding more liquid, if necessary.
