(Yasmin Fahr)
To add a little spice to this easy-to-whip-up dish, I charred some jalapeños under the broiler (a grill works as well), removed the skin, and added them to the mixture. The result? A creamy dip with a kick. A sprinkling of feta was a nice balance to the heat of the peppers, and I also happen to love feta.
Cook Time:
Prep Time:
Total Time:20 min
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
2 jalapeños
2 15-ounce cans of chickpeas, drained and rinsed
juice of 2 lemons
3 cloves of garlic, chopped
2 tablespoon Tahini
2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/4 cup Bulgarian feta, crumbled
Cayenne or Paprika, for dusting
Preparation:
Place the jalapeños under the broiler, until charred all over, turning halfway. Remove and let cool.
Meanwhile, combine the other ingredients, except for the feta and cayenne, in the bowl of a food processor.
When the peppers are cool, remove the skin and roughly chop them. Add them to the food processor and combine until blended. (You may need to scrape down the contents halfway.)
Remove the hummus and place in a bowl.
Top with the feta and a dusting of cayenne, if desired. Enjoy!
