Hummus Recipe « Spicy Hummus

This hummus makes a great appetizer for the flavor-famished. Garnish with minced sun-dried tomato for extra awesome points. Just a heads up, though: this stuff has a bit of a kick. It's not a melt-your-face-off kind of spice, but you might end up sleeping on the couch.

Spicy Hummus
Prep:10m
Ready in:10m
Serving:2 cups

Ingredients

  • 1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drained and liquid reserved
  • ¼ cup minced garlic
  • 2 serrano chile peppers, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin

Cooking Directions

  1. Blend garbanzo beans, garlic, serrano peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, and cumin in a blender on low until smooth, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Grab a pita chip, carrot, or green pepper and test it out. You're looking for a consistency that's easy to dip and won't run. Think: "thin peanut butter" and you'll be good to go; If you need to thicken your creation, grab some more chickpeas. If you need to thin, use some of the drained liquid you saved from earlier. Try not to use water because it will likely take away from the flavor; If you think you'll want to back off of the spiciness a bit, use one serrano pepper; Safety note: During prep time, don't touch your eyes - especially when handling the serranos. Pepper induced tears will ruin any appetizer and these peppers are typically pretty hot.
