Ingredients

1 cup chickpeas (canned, or if using dried, soak overnight)

1/4 cups jalapeno juice (from jar)

1/3 cup jalapeno, seeded and chopped (i prefer fresh, but canned works also)

3 Tbsp tahini paste

1/2 cups garlic, pressed and minced

3 Tbsp lemon juice

1/2 tsp ground cumin

Preparation

Place all ingredients in a food processor. Blend until smooth.

Note: texture may appear slightly more chunky than store-bought hummus, but it is still wonderful!

Serve with pita chips, carrots and celery, or as a spread.
