"I love this flavorful, tahini-free recipe. It uses roasted garlic--I like to roast a whole clove ahead of time and use the rest in other recipes. It's definitely worth it!!! I prefer my hummus very flavorful, so feel free to reduce the lemon juice, garlic, and chipotle. This was adapted from The Stinking Rose Restaurant Cookbook."

ingredients

1 (10 ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed well
¹⁄₄ cup olive oil
1 -4 chipotle chile in adobo (depending on how hot you like it)
1 -2 tablespoon adobo sauce
4 -6 roasted garlic cloves
1 lemon, juice of
salt and pepper

directions

Make a slit in each chipotle pepper and scrape the seeds out and discard them (otherwise the heat will overwhelm the flavor). Chop the peppers.
Add all the ingredients to a blender or food processor and process until smooth and creamy.
Delicious immediately, better after sitting in refrigerator for a while.
When refrigerated, good for about 1 week, but mine never lasts that long.
