I LOVE Green Chilis and I love to experiment with Hummus. You can put pretty much any flavor into garbanzo beans and make a great healthy dip. After a few experiments, this recipe rocks! Ingredients:
1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained, rinsed, and papery skins removed |
1 lime, juiced |
1 tablespoon tahini paste |
1 tablespoon water |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 clove roasted garlic |
1 green chili pepper, roasted, seeded, and peeled |
2 tablespoons cilantro, stems removed |
salt |
pepper |
Directions:
1. Boil garbanzo beans in salted water for 10-12 minutes. Drain and place into food processor.
2. Add remaining ingredients. Blend until smooth.
3. If it does not become smooth enough for your taste, add additional water, olive oil, or lime juice - depending on the flavor you desire.
4. Add Salt and Pepper to taste. Pulse to mix through.
5. If you like a bit more heat than the green chili gives, add a bit of jalapeno or serrano pepper. Whatever you do - please - don't add canned diced chilis. The vinegary canned flavor does not go well with the garbanzo beans.
6. Serve with warm soft pitas or crispy pita chips.
