Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 ounces canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 3 tablespoons tahini
- 2 tablespoons red curry paste
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons water
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoons smoked paprika (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a food processor, combine the drained chickpeas, tahini, red curry paste, lemon juice, garlic clove, olive oil, water, ground cumin, and salt.
Pulse the mixture several times to begin breaking down the ingredients, then process on high until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the food processor as needed.
Taste the hummus and adjust the seasoning, adding more salt, lemon juice, or red curry paste to taste.
If the hummus is too thick, add an additional tablespoon of water at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
Transfer the red curry hummus to a serving bowl. If desired, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with smoked paprika, and garnish with chopped fresh cilantro.
Serve immediately with pita bread, fresh vegetables, or crackers, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
