Tahini is the spread prepared from sesame seeds, forming an essential part of the usually prepared Hummus. But this is a variant recipe and does not use tahini. So, with all the exhilaration that this recipe brings, let’s begin to prepare it.
Chickpeas — This star ingredient adds structure to the entire recipe. I am using canned chickpeas here. You can use the freshly boiled chickpeas too. These protein-rich legumes are an excellent folate, dietary fiber, complex carbohydrates, iron, and zinc source. Garlic — It adds the quirky pungency that we so much love in our dishes. Chipotle peppers — They are added to the recipe for their robust, smoky flavor and hotness. Lemon juice — Added for its tanginess, which is much needed to complement the smoky and spicy flavor of the recipe. Red chili flakes and cumin seeds — Spices add a zing to any recipe. So will they in this recipe, too. Oil — We are using olive oil in our hummus, knowing how beneficial it would be to our health, not to mention the smoothness and flavor that it brings to the recipe.
Roast the bell peppers — Start by roasting the red peppers halves in a preheated oven until soft and slightly charred. Remove the charred bell peppers from the oven and allow them to cool. Remove the excess charred skin and allow it to cool. Serve — For a serving that looks as tempting as the dish itself is, transfer the hummus to a serving bowl. Garnish with a few chopped tomatoes, and some boiled chickpeas, and finally drizzle a little extra virgin olive oil on top.
Serve it with toasted pita bread, naan bread, crackers, and fresh veggies Layer your sandwiches, wraps, or burger with this hummus Turn it into a salad dressing My favorite – Falafels!
Substitute for Cashews — Cashews can be swapped with tahini if you like its earthy, nutty flavor over the subtle taste of cashews. Traditionally, hummus from Middle-east cuisine uses tahini as a significant ingredient for the recipe. You can add ¼ cup of tahini instead of cashews in this recipe. Substitute for canned chickpeas — You can use dried chickpeas instead of canned chickpeas. In such a case, you must soak the chickpeas overnight and then pressure cook them for 50- 60 minutes to ensure they are tender and soft. Store-bought roasted red bell peppers — Although roasting bell peppers does not take long, you can conveniently use the store-bought ones if you want to save time.
