Chipotle Hummus
Description
Chipotle Hummus combines cooked chickpeas with a smoky chipotle pepper packed in adobo sauce, tahini, olive oil, and lemon juice to create a creamy, rich dip. The garlic and salt enhance the savory notes, while the chipotle and adobo sauce lend a moderate heat and smoky flavor. Blending the ingredients results in a smooth texture, balanced by a touch of acidity from the lemon juice.
The hummus can be served chilled or at room temperature and is excellent for dipping pita chips, fresh wedges of pita, or vegetables. The optional topping of minced chipotle, a drizzle of quality olive oil, and a sprinkle of paprika adds visual contrast and intensifies the smoky flavor.
This recipe is suitable for those who enjoy a smoky twist on classic hummus and want a versatile spread or dip to accompany snacks or sandwiches. Adjusting the amount of chipotle or lemon juice allows for personalization of heat and tang.
Ingredients
- 1 cup chickpeas
- 2 TBSP tahini
- 2 TBSP olive oil quality
- 1 chipotle pepper packed in adobo sauce
- 1.5 TBSP lemon juice
- ½ tsp adobo sauce
- ¼ tsp garlic minced
- ⅛ tsp salt
TOP IT WITH...
- ½ chipotle pepper minced
- extra virgin olive oil (I used a spicy harissa one!)
- ⅛ tsp paprika sweet or smoked
Instructions
- In a food processor or blender, combine chickpeas, chipotle pepper, tahini, adobo sauce.
- Blend to incorporate.
- Scrape down the sides and add your garlic, salt, and lemon juice.
- Blend until deliciously creamy.
- Dive in with a pita chip for a taste-test and add more of your favorite ingredients if desired [more oil or tahini will thin out the hummus, more chipotle pepper will add heat and smoky flavor and more lemon juice will add some zest to the dip] - the above measurements were my idea of hummus perfection! Love it so!
- To fancily, top with half of a chopped chipotle pepper, a hearty drizzle of your favorite olive oil [I broke out the harissa-infused evoo for mine! Yum!] and a sprinkling of paprika.
Notes
- Serve chipotle hummus with pita chips, fresh pita wedges, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
- This hummus also works well as a sandwich spread for added smoky flavor.
