Calabrian Chili Hummus
Take your hummus game to the next level with this fiery, spicy Calabrian Chili Hummus! Made with fresh lemon, garlic, tahini, and olive oil.
Ingredients
- 2 Cloves Garlic
- Juice from 1/2 Lemon
- 1 15 oz Can Chickpeas
- 1 Tbsp Aquafaba (the liquid from chickpea can)
- 1/4 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1/4 Cup Tahini
- 1/4 Cup Jarred Calabrian Chilies
- 1/2 Tsp Salt or more to taste
- Black Pepper to taste
- More Lemon Juice if needed
- Fresh Herbs for Garnish if desired
Instructions
- Start by adding your garlic to the food processor. Process on high until garlic is finely minced. Then, squeeze in juice from 1/2 lemon, and stir it around so the garlic is covered. Let the garlic macerate in the lemon for 3-4 minutes.
- Then, open up your chickpea can and reserve 1 tbsp of the liquid (aquafaba). Drain the chickpeas, then add them and the aquafaba to the food processor.
- Add in all other ingredients and process on high for at least 1-2 minutes, or until tahini is smooth. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the food processor to make sure everything is blended.
- Taste, and adjust seasonings if necessary.
- To serve, spoon hummus onto a plate or bowl and garnish (if desired) with more Calabrian chilis, olive oil, or herbs.
- Enjoy!
