Smoked Jalapeno-Cilantro Hummus
Description
The recipe starts by pureeing rinsed garbanzo beans with garlic, salt, and lime juice before slowly incorporating olive oil to reach a creamy texture. Freshly chopped jalapeños and cilantro add fresh heat and brightness. Smoking the hummus on low indirect heat infuses it with a gentle smokiness without overpowering the natural flavors.
The resulting hummus has a creamy yet slightly textured mouthfeel with the boldness of jalapeño and the freshness of cilantro throughout. It can be served warm immediately after smoking or refrigerated for a cooler dip with intensified flavors. This method enhances hummus with a layered smoky-harsh taste that complements the traditional elements.
This smoky hummus works well as a spread for sandwiches, a dip for vegetables or pita, or an accompaniment to grilled foods. Its unique preparation offers an appealing variation for those seeking a smoky edge in a familiar snack.
Ingredients
- 30 Ounces garbanzo beans drained and rinsed, 2 cans
- ¾ Cup cilantro chopped
- 2 jalapeños seeded and finely diced
- ½ Cup olive oil
- 3 Tablespoon lime juice
- 2 garlic minced, cloves
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Drain the garbanzo beans/chickpeas and rinse under cold water.
- Add the garbanzo beans to a food processor along with the minced garlic and salt. Pulse several times to finely chop then scrape the sides, add the lime juice and pulse a couple more times.
- Scape the sides of the bowl again then run the food processor on low while you slowly add the olive oil. Once all of the oil is added, scape the sides of the bowl and add the diced jalapenos and chopped cilantro.
- Pulse a few times to combine well or run the food processor a bit longer for a smooth consistency.
- For a smoked version, spread the hummus in a well-oiled cast iron pan or oven proof dish. Smoke over indirect heat at 225-250 degrees for 30-45 minutes.
- To enjoy warm, dig right in. For a cold smoked hummus, move to a bowl and cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
