Spicy Sriracha Hummus
A spicy and savoury hummus recipe that's easy to make at home. Perfect for dipping or spreading
Equipment
- 1 Sieve
Ingredients
- 1 can (400g) Chick peas
- 30 ml Lemon juice
- 30 grams Tahini
- 1 clove Garlic
- 2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
- ½ tsp Ground cumin
- ½ tsp Salt
- 2 tbsp Siracha (Or sweet chilli sauce)
Instructions
Prep
- Drain and rinse the chickpeas under cold water using the sieve. To make a really smooth humus you can pinch each chickpea individually and the skin will come off easily. This is not essential but it will make a difference to the end result
- Peel and roughly chop the garlic
- Weigh/ measure your ingredients
To Make
- Add the ingredients from chickpeas to cumin to your blender or food processor. Blitz for a couple of minutes until smooth
- Add your sriracha and salt and blitz again. If your hummus is too thick then add water a tbsp at a time and blitz briefly until you reach your desired consistency
- Taste it! This is where you make it exactly to your taste. You want it more earthy, add a little extra cumin. You want it hotter, add more sriracha. Not sweet enough, drizzle a little honey into the mix. Blitz whatever you add and taste again
To Serve
- Transfer to a dish for dipping or spreading. Perhaps sprinkle a little paprika for style and taste. Perhaps some herbs or your choice. Perhaps as a stylish side on a dinner party course, place a small scoop of the hummus, press the back off a spoon and fill with olive oil or a herb oil. There are endless serving choices
- If placed in a sealed container and refrigerated, the hummus will last for up to a week
