Vacation Hummus

16 ingredients
2 steps

Ingredients

  • Hummus
  • 2 cups cooked chickpeas, either homemade or a 15 1/2-ounce can
  • 1 clove of garlic, peeled and crushed
  • 2 tablespoons tahini or almond butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2-3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 3-4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3-4 tablespoons (or more) warm water
  • Cilantro Salsa
  • 1 bunch fresh cilantro leaves (stems removed), about 1 packed cup
  • 1/2-1 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon aleppo pepper flakes
  • 1-2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
  • cayenne pepper to taste

Directions

  1. 1
    To make the hummus, combine all the ingredients except the water in a food processor and blend for a few seconds to bring them together. Add the water a tablespoon at a time, continuing to blend the hummus, until you reach the consistency you like. I add about 1/4 cup of water total because I like a lighter, looser texture. Adjust seasonings to taste.
  2. 2
    To make the cilantro sauce, blend all the ingredients in a food processor until it looks like a sauce. Adjust seasoning to taste and serve on top of or alongside the hummus.
