Jalapeno Hummus

I love hummus, and hot things, so this one is perfect for me.

1 (15oz can of chickpeas) rinse and drained
2 tablespoons Tahini (is ground sesame seed paste, like a runny peanut butter texture)
1 Jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
2 tablespoons lime or lemon juice
2 tablespoons water
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
chopped fresh cilantro (optional)


combine all ingredients except cilantro in food processor or blender and pulse until smooth, adding a little water if hummus is too stiff. Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with cilantro and drizzle some good for you olive oil on top.
Scoop up with peta bread or spread on a sandwich as the spread.

OH I smell my dill sour dough bread in the bread maker Sunbeam 5891 2-Pound Programmable Breadmaker
and it is making me regret not making this hummus today.

Here is Dede making Hummus, just so you understand how, and her recipes are great.
