Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Spicy Harissa Hummus.
Step 1
In a small bowl, blend 2 tablespoons of harissa powder with 1 teaspoon of reserved chickpea liquid, whisking until you achieve a smooth paste.
Step 2
If needed, add a bit more liquid to perfect the consistency and set this vibrant mixture aside.
Step 3
Next, reserve about 1/2 cup of whole chickpeas for garnish.
Step 4
In your food processor, combine the remaining chickpeas, 1/3 cup of olive oil, tahini, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and garlic.
Step 5
Pulse until the mixture transforms into a silky, creamy delight.
Step 6
Gently fold in the reserved harissa paste, blending until everything is harmoniously combined.
Step 7
If the hummus feels too thick, simply add more chickpea liquid until you reach your desired creaminess.
Step 8
Taste your creation and adjust the flavor with additional olive oil or lemon juice, ensuring a delightful balance of nuttiness and spice.
Step 9
Once satisfied, transfer the hummus to a serving dish, artfully topping it with the reserved chickpeas, Kalamata olives, chopped cilantro, a sprinkle of harissa powder, and a drizzle of any leftover olive oil.
