Zesty Lemon Hummus Food

ZESTY LEMON HUMMUS

Steps:

• Add all ingredients to a food processor except for the oil.
• Blend on high, slowly drizzling in olive oil for about a minute, or until smooth. I usually end up stopping, scraping the sides down, and blending longer. If needed (like if the mixture is too dry), add water gradually while blending on high (start with 1/4 cup or less) until the consistency you want is reached.
• Serve immediately or chill it first. I like to serve this hummus with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkling of smoked paprika.

LEMON HUMMUS RECIPE

Steps:

• Add the chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon zest and juice, crushed garlic, and some salt and pepper to taste in the bowl of a food processor. Blitz until smooth.
• With the food processor running, slowly pour in the water a little at a time, until your desired consistency is reached. More water will make a creamier hummus whilst less will give a thicker consistency.
• Blend for another minute or so to get everything really smooth and well combined.
• Serve the lemon hummus, optionally garnished with fresh chopped cilantro.

SPICY HUMMUS

Steps:

• Place the chickpeas, 2 tablespoons of the reserved liquid, the tahini, garlic, lemon juice, Tabasco, and salt in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and process until coarsely pureed. The hummus should be moist and thick; add more lemon juice or reserved chickpea liquid to thin, if necessary. Cover and refrigerate for several hours for the flavors to blend. Taste for seasonings. Place the hummus in a serving bowl and drizzle Sriracha over the top. Sprinkle with the pine nuts and a drizzle of olive oil.
