JALAPENO & ROASTED RED PEPPER HUMMUS
Another nice hummus recipe that makes use of my garden's peppers by way of The Wichita Eagle who got it from the North American Olive Oil Association. This one is a little lighter on the lemon & tahini - adjust to your taste of course. Use a potato masher to crush the garbanzos if you do not have food processor or blender - did it that way myself for years & now I prefer a chunkier hummus to the ultra-smooth, go figure. Serve with baked pita bread or pita chips or stuff into tomatoes (big cherries piped with smooth spicy hummus are great heavy hors d'oeuvres).

ROASTED GARLIC CILANTRO JALAPENO HUMMUS
I especially loved the roasted garlic and cilantro in this hummus. It's definitely not your traditional hummus! The flavors pack a punch and make you want to go back for more (and more) ...

Steps:
- 1. Get your garlic ready. Set oven to 375. Peel and separate the garlic cloves and make a bowl out of foil. Place the cloves in the foil bowl and cover with the olive oil. Close the bowl up around the garlic till just a pinch is open on top. Put on/in a oven safe pan and roast for 35 to 45 minutes.
- 2. When garlic is done take it out to cool while you prepare the other ingredients. In a food processor or blender put your chickpeas (drained but leave a little water 1/8 cup), lemon, salt, and jalapeno. Blend until most is chopped. Add the garlic along with the oil in the foil and blend until smooth. Now add your cilantro and blend until it is a pretty green color. You can serve it warm or cold with veggies for dipping or on bread.
ROASTED JALAPENO HUMMUS
Steps:
- 1. Roast the jalapenos under the broiler, or on the stovetop or grill. Flip every few minutes until the peppers are charred all over. Move them to a heat-proof bowl and cover with plastic wrap for about 10 minutes. 2. When the peppers are cool enough to handle, slip off the skin, split the peppers, and strip out the seeds. Slice the jalapenos into thin strips and set aside. Take care while working with these peppers because the jalapeno oils can really burn if you rub your eyes or touch your mouth. Wear gloves if desired. 3. Warm the chickpeas in the microwave for about a minute (this helps make the hummus creamier). Pour them them into the bowl of a food processor along with 3 tablespoons of lime juice, garlic, tahini and spices. Begin processing and stream in the olive oil through the top of the machine. Scrape down and process again until the hummus is very smooth. 4. Transfer to a serving bowl and stir in the sliced jalapenos. Taste and add more jalapenos, more lime juice or more seasonings to taste. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes before serving. (This hummus can also be made several days ahead.) Garnish with minced cilantro and serve with pita wedges or tortilla chips.
