SPICY HUMMUS: QUICK CHICKPEA SPREAD (RACHEL RAY)



Spicy Hummus: Quick Chickpea Spread (Rachel Ray) image

This got many rave reviews on the other site. However, most said it was too thick. So some added about half the liquid from the canned chick peas, a little more olive oil and more lemon juice. I think some roasted red pepper would be good. Good basic recipe that you can adjust to taste, for our tastes I will most likely add more of the seasonings, and add a dash of cayenne too.

  • If you don't have tahini on hand, you can substitute it with another nut or seed butter, such as almond butter or sunflower seed butter.
  • For a spicier spread, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder.
  • If you want a more garlicky spread, add an extra clove or two of garlic.
  • Serve the spread with pita bread, crackers, or vegetables. You can also use it as a sandwich spread or as a dip for chicken or fish.

This hummus-like spread is a delicious and versatile dip or spread that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful snack or appetizer, give this recipe a try.
