Giardiniera Hummus

With a Costco size jar of Giardiniera peppers sitting in my fridge I have been looking for different ways to use them. Hummus and giardiniera peppers seemed liked a good fit. 

I like my hummus on the spicy side so adding giardiniera peppers gave the hummus a good spicy kick. Plus the giardiniera peppers gave the hummus such a good flavor, besides just making it spicy.

Giardiniera Hummus

Ingredients:

• 1/4 cup tahini
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 cups giardiniera peppers, drained
• 3 teaspoons giardiniera liquid
• 2- 15 ounce cans chickpeas, drained and rinsed
• 1/2 cup olive oil

Directions:

1. In a food processor add the tahini and lemon juice. Mix well.
2. Add in the garlic, giardiniera peppers, giardiniera liquid and a handful of chickpeas. Mix well.
3. With the food processor running continue to add in handfuls of chickpeas mixing well after each handful.
4. Again with the food processor still running add in the olive oil and mix well.
5. Transfer the hummus to a airtight container and refrigerate overnight.

Enjoy!!!
