Zia Hot N Spicy Peacado Hummus Food

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.

SUPREMELY SPICY HUMMUS

Steps:

• Combine tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, cayenne pepper, cumin, salt, sesame oil, and hot sauce in a food processor or blender; blend until very smooth, about 3 minutes. Add garbanzo beans and blend for 2 minutes. Add water and blend for 3 minutes more. Chill in refrigerator.

SPICY GARLIC HUMMUS

Steps:

• Process garbanzo beans, tahini, chili pepper, garlic, and lemon juice in a food processor or blender (I use a mini-chopper) until smooth.
• Add water as needed to achieve the consistency you prefer.
• Place mixture into a glass bowl.
• Stir in cumin, cayenne pepper, paprika, salt and black pepper.
• Cover and refrigerate for at least a couple of hours.
• The flavor improves greatly if given this time to develop.

SPICY CHICKPEA DIP (HUMMUS)

Steps:

• Place the garlic, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, and salt in a food processor or blender and puree until the garlic is finely chopped (if preparing by hand, finely dice and mash the garlic, then mix with the other ingredients).
• Add the chickpeas and continue mixing to a smooth paste.
• Garnish with the cayenne pepper.
• Served at room temperature or chilled.
