- 2 cans (15 Oz. Size) Chickpeas
- 1/2 cups Tahini
- 1/4 cups Warm Water
- 1- 1/2 whole Lemons, Juiced
- 1/2 teaspoons Ground Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- Handful Of Cilantro, Chopped
- 1 pinch Paprika
- Pita Bread, To Serve
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Line a small baking pan with foil.
- Cut off the top of the head of garlic so that each clove shows a little.
- Place the garlic and the hatch chiles on the pan and drizzle with olive oil (dont be shy on the garlic!).
- Take another small piece of foil and place the olives in the center with the sprigs of thyme.
- Wrap the olives in a tight package and place on the baking pan.
- Roast for 20 minutes and then turn on the broiler for the last 5-10 minutes or until the chiles and garlic look nice and toasted.
- Turn the chiles at least once.
- Remove and cool.
- Meanwhile, combine the chickpeas, tahini, remaining chopped clove of garlic, the warm water, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, cumin, and the salt in a food processor.
- Pulse until creamy.
- Take out 2/3 of the hummus.
- When the chiles are ready, slice them down the middle.
- Remove the seeds and peel off the charred skin.
- Blend them with the first 1/3 of hummus along with the cilantro.
- Clean the bowl and put in another 1/3 of the hummus.
- Discard the thyme sprigs from the olive mixture and put the olives in to blend.
- Clean the bowl again and put in the last 1/3 of hummus.
- Squeeze each clove of garlic out into the food processor and blend.
- Top the chili hummus with extra cilantro, the olive hummus with chopped olives, and the roasted garlic hummus with paprika.
- And for the final touch, heat up some pita bread for dipping.
- I took the skins off the chickpeas, but Im not sure how worth it this step is.
- Its pretty time consuming, and Im not sure you would be able to tell once theyre blended in the food processor.
- But if you feel the need to do this, heres a little trick: spread out the chickpeas on paper towels and place another paper towel on top.
- Gently rub the the chickpeas around and the skins will start to loosen/fall off.
- It wont get them all, so youll still have some squeezing to do.
- Let me know if you have any suggestions!
