Roasted Green Chili Hummus - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained, rinsed, and papery skins removed
1 lime, juiced
1 tablespoon tahini paste
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove roasted garlic
1 green chili pepper, roasted, seeded, and peeled
2 tablespoons cilantro, stems removed
salt
pepper
Preparation
-
Boil garbanzo beans in salted water for 10-12 minutes. Drain and place into food processor.
Add remaining ingredients. Blend until smooth.
If it does not become smooth enough for your taste, add additional water, olive oil, or lime juice - depending on the flavor you desire.
Add Salt and Pepper to taste. Pulse to mix through.
If you like a bit more heat than the green chili gives, add a bit of jalapeno or serrano pepper. Whatever you do -- please -- don't add canned diced chilis. The vinegary canned flavor does not go well with the garbanzo beans.
Serve with warm soft pitas or crispy pita chips.
