Lemony Hummus (Vegan)

Both indulgently creamy and bright with citrus hints, this Lemony Hummus is my favourite thing to whip up, whether as an appetizer, or for a quick and tasty lunch, alongside warm Flatbreads. Happy Monday!

Ingredients (makes about 2 cups):

1 cup tinned chickpeas, rinsed and drained 

1/4 cup aquafaba (the liquid in the chickpea tin)

1 large garlic clove

a large lemon

1 1/2 heaped teaspoon tahini (sesame seed paste)

2 tablespoons good extra-virgin olive oil 

1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

1/4 teaspoon fleur de sel or sea salt flakes

¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1/4 teaspoon ground chilli

a few leaves freshly picked Garden Cilantro 

Place chickpeas and aquafaba in a food processor.

Peel and halve garlic clove, and add to the food processor as well.

Grate in the zest of half the lemon into the food processor, and the zest of the remaining half into a small plate or saucer. Set aside.

Thoroughly squeeze in the juice of the whole lemon, and add tahini and olive oil.

Sprinkle in ground cumin, fleur de sel, black pepper and ground chilli.

Process until beautifully smooth, scraping the sides with a spatula and processing again, if necessary.

Spoon Hummus in serving bowl, garnish with reserved lemon zest and Cilantro and drizzle with olive oil.

Serve Lemony Hummus with Chilli Flatbreads.

hello there! sincere question, why do you think there are so many omegas in miscecanis (I think I misspelled that but close enough) I myself prefer Alpha but I like nests anyway but I never really did traditional things for my first sex why start now with my "second sex" thingy whatever it's called

also I will likely be a reoccurring anon so call me Cumin, I will sign all my asks

Hi!!

I think that there’s a lot of omegas in the miscecanis community because the traits assigned to omegas are really relateable for a lot of us. Here’s some reasons I can think of:

People who enjoy and write a/b/o, for the most part, have been socialized as women. Omegaverse explores topics of power as it relates to gender and bodies. This trope creates a space for a reader to play with those ideas within the safety of fiction! So, it makes sense that those who feel so strongly about these ideas that they’d identify with them (miscecanis) would tend to feel that way about the omega experience. That perspective is so central to the trope that is literally in the name “omegaverse”. (For a great breakdown of this idea, see this video essay)

A HUGE portion of the miscecanis community is trans and nonbinary, especially afab. Of course not every trans person feels the same way, but many of us find safety in or resonate with omega anatomy. Omega anatomy isn’t consistent between verses, but it always breaks the binary norms that society imposes on our bodies. It’s really appealing to self identify with a role that is in agreement with our bodies, rather than in conflict.

Here’s a post where I wrote about this topic before

For me, this last point has been true in various stages of my transition. When I was at my most dysphoric, my omega identity was my greatest refuge. I’m more comfortable now but it’s still very important to my gender.

Neurodivergence and typical omega behaviors is another big one. I mean come on, nesting?!? Heck yeah. I think that people might feel that because they enjoy the features typically attributed to omegas like nesting, sweet scents, nurturing roles in relationships, etc., that must make them an omega. It’s really okay if that’s why someone picks their role! But like you mentioned anon, you’re an alpha who likes to nest, that’s really great too. I think that behaviors are a starting point for many people and that could be another reason why there are more omegas in miscecanis.

(Also omegas are often doted on and yknow what?? who doesn’t want that)

The simplest answer though: most a/b/o is written with omega protagonists. The protagonist is the character you empathize with the most, your window into the world of the story. When most of the omegaverse you read comes from the perspective of omegas, that might end up feeling the most familiar!
