Ingredients
The following ingredients have 4 Servings
- 1 can garbanzo beans (drained)
- 3 large fresh roasted Hatch green chiles, heat level of choice, ((or one 4oz can))
- 2 Tablespoons tahini paste
- 4 cloves garlic (roasted)
- 1 lime
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- water
Instruction
- Put garlic cloves with the skin still on in a nonstick skillet and heat over medium low heat. Roasting the garlic will take approximately 20-30 minutes. Rotate the cloves every 10-15 minutes so that they are roasted on all sides. Set aside to cool. (You can use raw garlic, but the flavor will be much stronger so you will want to cut down to 1-2 cloves).
- When garlic is cool enough to handle, peel the skins off the cloves. If using whole Hatch chiles, skin the peppers, remove the stem, and remove the seeds. Chop the peppers.
- Add the garbanzo beans, garlic, lime juice, salt, tahini, olive oil, and chiles to food processor. Put the lid on and process until you reach your desired consistency, approximately 10-15 seconds. If the mixture is too thick, add water 1 Tbsp at a time and process briefly to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning to your liking.
- When complete, use a spatula to put the hummus in a bowl. Top with additional chiles, paprika, or queso fresco if desired. Refrigerate for one hour and serve chilled with pita bread or assorted vegetables.
