Smoke Show Hummus

There are lots of tips floating around for how to make the perfect hummus; from preserving a little of your chickpea liquid for a stronger taste (mix it into your water and olive oil solution) to only using the very best quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil (which, of course, we always recommend), but we think the absolute best way to elevate your hummus game is to add some heat.

Ingredients:

• 2 charred Jalapeño Peppers
• 1 can of Chickpeas
• 2 cloves of Garlic
• ¼ cup of Tahini
• The juice from 1 Lemon
• 1 pinch of Salt and Pepper
• 1 tsp. Sumac
• 3 tbsp. Smoke Show Hot Sauce
• 1 tsp. Smoked Paprika
• Well Seasoned Olive Oil
• Water
• 2 tbsp. Zaahtar
• *Available from Well Seasoned

Instructions:

1. Start the grill and char your jalapeños and lemons and garlic.
2. Drain and rinse your can of chickpeas.
3. Using a food processor, blend the chickpeas and the garlic just slightly.
4. Add the lemon juice, tahini, Smoke Show, spices, and a splash of olive oil. Then blend.
5. While it’s blending, gradually add water and olive oil to obtain your ideal consistency. VERY SLOWLY add these ingredients, until perfectly soft and fluffy.
6. Serve with crudités like sliced radishes, carrots, fennel, celery, tortilla chips, etc.

ENJOY!
