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.
