Spicy Hummus

Ingredients

• 15-ounce can of chickpeas, drained
• (or 1½ cups cooked chickpeas)
• ¼ cup lemon juice
• ¼ cup well-stirred tahini
• 1-3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• ½ tsp ground cumin
• 2 to 3 tbsp water
• 2 tbsp chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
• ½ tsp of salt

Directions

Add tahini and lemon juice to food processor bowl and mix for 1 minute. Scrape sides and bottom and mix for 30 seconds more. Add olive oil, garlic, cumin and ½ tsp of salt. Mix for 30 seconds or until well blended. Add half of the chickpeas and mix for 1 minute. Scrape the sides and bottom of bowl and mix again for 1-2 minutes until smooth. Add 2 tbsp of chipotle peppers (or more if a very spicy hummus is desired). Mix for 1 minute until smooth. If hummus is too thick, slowly add 2-3 tbsp of water until desired consistency is reached. Good for up to 1 week.
