JALAPENO & ROASTED RED PEPPER HUMMUS



Jalapeno & Roasted Red Pepper Hummus image

Another nice hummus recipe that makes use of my garden's peppers by way of The Wichita Eagle who got it from the North American Olive Oil Association. This one is a little lighter on the lemon & tahini - adjust to your taste of course. Use a potato masher to crush the garbanzos if you do not have food processor or blender - did it that way myself for years & now I prefer a chunkier hummus to the ultra-smooth, go figure. Serve with baked pita bread or pita chips or stuff into tomatoes (big cherries piped with smooth spicy hummus are great heavy hors d'oeuvres).

The Spicy Red Pepper and Jalapeno Hummus: A Delightful Fusion of Heat and Flavor

Tips for Crafting the Perfect Spicy Red Pepper and Jalapeno Hummus:

  • Selecting Quality Ingredients: Fresh and flavorful ingredients are key to creating a top-notch hummus. Opt for plump and ripe red peppers, vibrant jalapenos, and creamy chickpeas. Use extra virgin olive oil for a rich, nutty flavor and garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley for a pop of color.
  • Balancing the Spice Level: Heat enthusiasts can amp up the spiciness by using hotter varieties of peppers or adding more jalapenos. For a milder version, remove the seeds and ribs from the peppers before blending. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to fine-tune the desired heat level.
  • Achieving a Smooth and Creamy Texture: Soaking the chickpeas overnight and cooking them until tender ensures a velvety smooth hummus. Alternatively, canned chickpeas can be used for convenience. For an extra creamy texture, blend the hummus in a food processor or high-powered blender until it reaches your desired consistency.
  • Creating a Vibrant Red Color: Roasting the red peppers enhances their natural sweetness and adds a vibrant red hue to the hummus. Alternatively, sun-dried tomatoes can be added for a similar color and flavor profile.
  • Exploring Flavorful Variations: Experiment with different ingredients to create unique flavor combinations. Add roasted garlic or a touch of paprika for a smoky depth, or incorporate sun-dried tomatoes for a tangy twist. Top with toasted pine nuts, chopped walnuts, or a drizzle of spicy harissa for an extra layer of flavor and texture.

Conclusion: A Spicy and Satisfying Hummus Experience:

This spicy red pepper and jalapeno hummus is a delightful fusion of heat and flavor that tantalizes the taste buds. The combination of roasted red peppers and jalapenos provides a vibrant red color and a perfect balance of spiciness. The creamy texture and rich flavors make it an ideal dip for vegetables, pita bread, or crackers. Experiment with different ingredients and garnishes to create unique variations that cater to your personal preferences. This hummus is a culinary journey that will leave you craving more.
