Pete's Spicy Hummus

Pedro makes hummus for us all the time. It's great to have a healthy snack around the house and to take to the office. The ratios listed below are rough estimates from Pedro's version, but every batch turns out a little different so play around and see what works for you!

Also note that you'll need a high horsepower blender to make the hummus smooth and creamy. Try a blendtec or vitamix from Costco. 

Add 2 cans (drained) of chickpeas to the blender. Throw in 2-3 large cloves of garlic (we like ours spicy with the garlic!), 1/4 c. tahini, juice from two limes, between 1/4 and 1/2 c. water, depending on how thick  you like your hummus, olive oil, salt and pepper to taste.

This makes an excellent base to play with. For Pete's spicy hummus we add one raw jalapeño with the seeds. Other examples of things to give your hummus an extra kick include sun dried tomatoes, pesto, or Asian peppers! The sky is the limit.

Serve with pita triangles and garnish with extra olive oil and paprika. Enjoy!
