Chipotle Pepper Hummus

November 15, 2013 By Steve Dunn Leave a Comment

Hummus and chips- Blog 3471
How to make a homemade Hummus is something I teach the students at each and every Cooking Matters class that I instruct.

Why?

Because it is super tasty, quite healthy, wicked versatile, and SO MUCH cheaper to make yourself then to buy at the store.  A container that would cost you $5 at the store can probably be made for 75 cents at home…no kidding.  Not a fan of chipotle peppers?  Add more raw or roasted garlic, some sautèed and drained spinach, or how about jarred roasted red peppers?  Fresh herbs are an easy add-in too as are toasted pine nuts, let your imagination run wild.

Not big on chips and crudité?   Use it as a sandwich spread, it's awesome, or served alongside your favorite grilled meats as a slathering companion!

Hummus ingredients ready for the blitz!

If you've never had hummus before you owe it to yourself to try some.  This Middle-Eastern staple will become a fast favorite of yours if you just give it a chance…..promise.

Cheers -Steve

Cooking ModePrint Recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 - 15 ounce cans of chickpeas, one drained, one with liquid
  • 1/4 cup tahini paste
  • 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (plus more to taste)
  • 1 large garlic clove, peeled and roughly chopped
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 canned chipotle chilis in adobo (with seeds if you like it hot, seeded if you want it a bit milder)
  • kosher salt to taste
  • EVOO to drizzle on the finished hummus

Instructions

  • Toss all the ingredients into a blender and blitz until smooth.  Taste for seasoning, adding more chipotle pepper, salt, cumin, or lemon juice to suit your tastes.  Add water (or some EVOO), a tablespoon at a time if you find the hummus too thick to be effectively processed in your blender.
  • Serve with crudité for dipping,  pita chips or corn chips.  Drizzle with some EVOO and sprinkle with some Pimenton (smoked paprika) and crunchy salt when serving, if desired.
