Jalapeno and Lime Hummus

"With store bought hummus, the quantity is small and prices are high... plus I like to be able to control the ingredients, so I adapted this recipe from ingredient labels. Please note that I use Bertolli Extra Light "Tasting" olive oil for the mild flavor. This hummus will taste significately different if you use Extra Virgin Olive Oil and I don't recommend it... unless you like the strong taste. If you don't have a Kitchen Aide Garlic Press, I highly recommend one... I bought mine at Fry's Electronics... it is easy to use and clean. This Jalapeno and Lime Hummus is great as a dip, on pita or as a sandwich spread."

  1. Added a little more jalapeno and lime sauce. We all agreed that it was the best hummus that we have ever tasted! Thank you for sharing.
     
  2. Hummus cannot be healthy in the amounts that I eat it.
     
  3. Super simple and delcious. I ended up doubling the jalapenos since I like it hot. Used EVOO and was great. Next time will probably add more lime juice for tartness. Great money saver from the little packages I'm used to buying (8 oz/$3.89).
     
  4. Ooooo! Yummy! One variation that I do is use raw Garbanzo beans that have been soaked for at least 24 hours. Yes they do get soft and the texture and flavor is pretty much the same. Less expensive and more nutritious.
     
  5. So good! This is a staple in our household, even my 18 month old son loves it. We substitute mild pepperoncini for the Jalapenos so that he can enjoy it as well. There is no gluten in our household so we enjoy it with rice crackers and as a dipper for fresh cut veggies. The perfect snack!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I like to create anything, eat reasonably healthy and be around people that have figured out how to be happy most of the time. With a host of varied talents and interests, I have "re-invented" myself several times and am in the process of doing so again. I am currently writing a book "Eternal Spring Locations Guide", about ideal locations in the world that need neither air-conditioning or heat... the outdoors becomes your living room. I will move to such a place in the next couple of years.
