Spicy Green Hummus Recipe

Ingredients

¼ cup tahini

¼ cup fresh lemon juice (1 large lemon)

2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for serving

¼ cup roughly chopped fresh parsley

¼ cup roughly chopped fresh cilantro

2 jalapeno peppers, seeds and stem removed, chopped

3 green onions chopped (more for garnish)

2 large garlic cloves, minced

One (15-ounce) can of chickpeas, drained and rinsed

½ teaspoon salt, more to taste

1 to 2 tablespoons water (optional)

Garnish with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a sprinkling of chopped fresh herbs or green onions

Preparation

Add the tahini and lemon juice to food processor and process for about 1 minute. Use a plastic spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl if needed.

Add olive oil, parsley, cilantro, jalapenos, onion, garlic and salt. Process for about 1 minute, scraping down the bowl as necessary.

Add the chickpeas and process until the hummus has a thick and smooth texture... normally 1 or 2 minutes. Scrape down the bowl a few times while processing.

If hummus is too thick, run the food processor while slowly adding 1 to 2 tablespoons water, until it reaches the desired consistency.

Transfer the hummus into a small serving bowl. Drizzle about a tablespoon of olive oil on top and sprinkle with additional chopped herbs and green onions..

Store hummus in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to one week.
