Ace Club's Awesome Hummus
-
This is by far my favorite hummus that I have ever made (I prefer it with the optional red pepper blended into the mix). The addition of the Cayenne Pepper gives the dish a little kick that people love.
1 can Chickpeas (drained)
1/3 cup tahini
1/4 cup lemon juice
2-3 cloves Garlic
2 tbsp Olive Oil
1 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper
1 tsp Cumin
(Optional: 1 fresh Red Pepper, cut into slices for easier blending)
Add all ingredients to a blender and blend to desired consistency. If mixture is too thick, add additional Olive Oil in 1 tbsp increments. -

Tahini or sesame paste (Arabic: طحينه), is a paste of ground sesame seeds used in cooking. North African, Greek and West Asian tahini is made of hulled, lightly roasted seeds. East Asian sesame paste is made of unhulled seeds. The Arabic word tahin (طحين) simply means flour (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tahini)

i make mine the same way, minus the cayenne, the tahini, and the cumin. i always roast the red peppers before blending. there's way more flavor from roasted peppers.The pinnacle of lame and awesome in one singular moment. -Lake
