Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Zesty Jalapeno Hummus.
Step 1
To create a deliciously smooth and flavorful hummus, start by placing your drained garbanzo beans, diced jalapeno peppers, jalapeno juice, fresh lemon juice, olive oil, tahini, and minced garlic into a blender or food processor.
Step 2
Blend these ingredients together until you achieve a creamy consistency that’s just right for you.
Step 3
If you prefer a thinner texture, gradually add some of the reserved liquid from the garbanzo beans, blending until everything is perfectly combined.
Step 4
Next, it’s time to spice things up! Add in cayenne pepper, ground cumin, dried oregano, black pepper, and paprika if you’re feeling adventurous.
Step 5
Blend once more until all the flavors meld together into a smooth, vibrant mixture.
Step 6
Once your hummus is ready, transfer it to a serving bowl and cover it up.
Step 7
For the best flavor experience, let it chill in the refrigerator for about four hours.
Step 8
This waiting time allows the ingredients to harmonize beautifully, making each bite a delightful explosion of taste.
Step 9
Enjoy your homemade hummus as a dip, spread, or even a star ingredient in your favorite dishes!.
