Vacation Hummus
- Hummus
- 2 cups cooked chickpeas, either homemade or a 15 1/2-ounce can
- 1 clove of garlic, peeled and crushed
- 2 tablespoons tahini or almond butter
- 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 2-3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 3-4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 3-4 tablespoons (or more) warm water
- Cilantro Salsa
- 1 bunch fresh cilantro leaves (stems removed), about 1 packed cup
- 1/2-1 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon aleppo pepper flakes
- 1-2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
- cayenne pepper to taste
- To make the hummus, combine all the ingredients except the water in a food processor and blend for a few seconds to bring them together. Add the water a tablespoon at a time, continuing to blend the hummus, until you reach the consistency you like. I add about 1/4 cup of water total because I like a lighter, looser texture. Adjust seasonings to taste.
- To make the cilantro sauce, blend all the ingredients in a food processor until it looks like a sauce. Adjust seasoning to taste and serve on top of or alongside the hummus.
