Jalapeno Hummus
Description
This recipe begins by draining canned garbanzo beans and roughly chopping fresh cilantro, jalapenos (with seeds removed for milder heat), lemon zest, and garlic. All ingredients including lemon juice and tahini are combined in a blender and blended on low speed as olive oil is gradually drizzled in to achieve a smooth, creamy consistency.
The result is a bright, creamy spread with moderate heat from the jalapenos balanced by the citrus and nutty tahini flavor. It's simple to prepare and serves as a flavorful accompaniment to breads or vegetables.
Garnishing with chopped cilantro, sea salt flakes, and a drizzle of olive oil adds texture and visual appeal. Toasting pita bread before serving enhances the dipping experience.
