Spicy Golden Hummus

This is my favourite houmous dish (curry spread), with a link to a site with a dozen other styles of hummus.
 
Ingredients
  • 1 15-ounce (425 g) can chickpeas, drained*
  • 1 lemon, juiced (3 Tbsp or 45 ml)
  • 3 Tbsp (45 g) tahini
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced, plus more to taste
  • 1 tsp fresh grated ginger
  • 1/2 tsp ground corriander
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp ground turmeric, plus more to taste
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt, plus more to taste
  • 1-2 Tbsp (15-30 ml) olive oil (or sub water)
  •  optional: pinch cayenne pepper
  • Chilli (Optional)
Instructions
  1. Add drained chickpeas and all other ingredients  to a blender or food processor and blend on high until creamy and smooth, scraping down sides if  needed.
  2. To create a creamier texture, add a bit of oil and/or water. (I used 1 Tbsp oil and 2 Tbsp water).
  3. I add milk kefir to help activate the tumeric (see Golden Milk)
  4. Serve as is or garnish with pine nuts, sesame seeds, or more spices. Parsley would also be a nice addition. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator up to 3-4 days.
