Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups soaked and cooked chickpeas or 15-ounce can chickpeas, rinsed and drained
- 1 ripe haas avocado
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil (or more if needed, up to 1/2 cup)
- 1/3 cup fresh chopped cilantro
- 1 jalapeño chili pepper, seeded and chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 4 teaspoons tahini paste
- 1 teaspoon Tabasco, Tapatio hot sauce or sriracha
- 3/4 teaspoon salt, or more to taste
- Pita chips or assorted crudités for serving
Instructions
- Start with cooked or canned and drained chickpeas. I like to peel the chickpeas to give the hummus a creamier texture. This will take you 10-15 minutes. If you're in a hurry you can skip this step, but you'll need a little more olive oil to achieve a creamy texture.
- Peeling the chickpeas is a simple process-- just grasp a chickpea between your thumb and forefinger and squeeze gently into your other hand till the skin loosens and releases. Repeat for the remaining chickpeas.
- Place the chickpeas (peeled or unpeeled) into the food processor. Add 1/4 cup olive oil if you have peeled your chickpeas, or 1/2 cup olive oil for unpeeled chickpeas.Pit and peel the avocado and add it to the processor along with cilantro, jalapeño, lemon juice, tahini, hot sauce and salt.
- Pulse the ingredients a few times, then process for 2-3 minutes. Scrape the sides of the processor once or twice to make sure all ingredients are fully incorporated. Continue processing till the hummus is smooth and creamy. Adjust salt and seasoning as desired and process a final time.
- Serve immediately with pita chips or assorted crudités. You can refrigerate this hummus for up to 3 days, but keep in mind that the color will not look as bright green and fresh after the first few hours. If storing in the fridge, cover tightly with plastic wrap, leaving no gap between the wrap and the surface of the hummus. This will help to keep it from discoloring.
