spicy roasted pepper hummus

This is a fiery hummus loaded with roasted jalapeno peppers. 

If you aren’t into heat, then feel free to sub in a roasted mild pepper – like a bell pepper.  When turning down the heat, you may also want to cut back on the honey just a little as it is in the recipe to balance out some of the jalapenos’ heat. 

Conversely if you are a spice fiend, add another jalapeno or another roasted spicy pepper of choice and consider using a little extra honey.

Spicy Roasted Pepper Hummus

• 2 cans garbanzo beans
• 4 tbsp tahini
• zest and juice of 1 lemon
• salt & pepper to taste
• 4 tbsp olive oil
• 2 roasted jalapeno peppers (to taste)
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 clove garlic
• 1/4 tsp ground cumin
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley
• 2 tsp fresh cilantro

Place everything in a food processor or blender and puree until smooth. Serve with veggies, pita, chips, bread, falafel, etc.

Chickpea & Pepper Dip

This recipe is also up on sportsglutton, but since it is my creation,  I thought I would share it on craftyglutton as well.

This is sort of like hummus, but without the tahini and a little less fat (not that hummus has bad fat in it).
