Sriracha Hummus

Sriracha and hummus make the perfect pairing. The sriracha adds flavor and spiciness to the hummus without overpowering the flavor of the hummus. For a spicier hummus you can add more sriracha sauce. I used 3 tablespoons in the hummus and then added a drizzle on top and the hummus had a subtle spiciness to it. Next time I will definitely add more sriracha.

Sriracha Hummus

• 1/4 cup tahini
• 1/4 cup lemon juice

Directions:

1. In a food processor add the tahini, lemon juice and sesame oil. Process until well mixed.
2. Add in a handful of garbanzo beans, garlic cloves, cilantro, cumin, paprika and sriracha. Process until well mixed.
3. With the food processor running continue to add handfuls of garbanzo beans until well mixed and smooth.
4. With the food processor running drizzle in the olive oil and mix well.
5. If the hummus is too thick add in small amounts of the reserved bean liquid until desired consistency is reached.
6. Taste the hummus and add more sriracha until desired level of spiciness is reached.
7. Transfer the hummus to a container and drizzle with sriracha.
8. Refrigerate the hummus overnight before serving.

Enjoy!!!
