Instructions

Hummus:

  1. Add all of the ingredients except the water to the bowl of a food processor. Process on high for 1 to 2 minutes. Occasionally stop and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Use the water by the tablespoon to thin the hummus to the texture you like best.

Topping:

  1. Finely chop the dried apricots and roasted red pepper. Add all of the ingredients to a bowl, cover, and let marinate overnight or at least an hour. Add to the top of the hummus.

Notes

  • Don’t skip the topping! Yes, it’s optional but wow, it really adds a ton of flavor.
  • Adjust the spiciness. Add more or less serrano chile depending on how spicy you want it! You can also swap it for a milder or spicier type of chile.
  • No fresh apricots? That's ok. Swap the fresh for dried! Just hydrate them in hot water for about 15 minutes prior to adding them to the hummus. This will plump them back up so they can mix into the hummus.
