Can I use chickpeas instead of lupini beans?

You can use chickpeas, but the nutritional profile will change. Lupini beans are a protein-rich option with up to 40% protein by dry weight with fewer carbs; they are also low-glycemic. Chickpeas are also wonderful but offer around 20% protein, and they have more carbs and are higher on the glycemic index. Both are high in fiber and offer a range of essential nutrients, making either a nutritious choice depending on your specific dietary needs.

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste (see notes below))

Instructions

Blend ingredients: Place the lupini beans, water, garlic, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, cumin, and salt in a food processor, blender, or bullet.
Process: Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed. If it's still too thick, add a little water, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach the desired consistency.
Taste and Adjust: Check the seasoning and add more salt, lemon juice, or olive oil if needed to suit your taste.
Garnish: Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl, and create a small well in the center with the back of a spoon. Drizzle a little olive oil into the well, and sprinkle with paprika and chopped parsley.
Serve: Serve with pita bread, fresh veggies, or as a spread in sandwiches and wraps.

Notes

Nutritional information. Use a nutritional app like Cronometer to get information on the exact ingredients and amounts you are using.

Without the water, the mixture is thick. Add water a little at a time to reach your preferred consistency.

If you plan on using my suggestion in the post for pickled Brami Lupini beans, you might want to go easy on the salt. Start with no salt, then gradually add to match your taste preference.

For smoother hummus, blend for at least 2-3 minutes while scraping the sides of the food processor, blender, or bullet. You can expect the texture to be slightly grainy and not completely smooth like traditional hummus.

Look for cooked lupini beans for this recipe. Cooking lupini beans at home is a bigger process than regular beans. Look at the ingredient notes in the post for what brand I recommend.
