With store bought hummus, the quantity is small and prices are high... plus I like to be able to control the ingredients, so I adapted this recipe from ingredient labels. Please note that I use Bertolli Extra Light Tasting olive oil for the mild flavor. This hummus will taste significately different if you use Extra Virgin Olive Oil and I don't recommend it... unless you like the strong taste. If you don't have a Kitchen Aide Garlic Press, I highly recommend one... I bought mine at Fry's Electronics... it is easy to use and clean. This Jalapeno and Lime Hummus is great as a dip, on pita or as a sandwich spread. Ingredients:
1 (16 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained (chick peas) |
3 tablespoons bertolli extra light tasting olive oil |
2 tablespoons tahini (fresh sesame seeds) |
1 tablespoon water |
2 tablespoons fresh squeeze lime juice (about one lime) |
1 teaspoon garlic, fresh pressed (about two cloves) |
3 tablespoons bottled jalapenos, drained and chopped |
1 teaspoon paprika |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Put all items into a small food processor and blend until smooth.
