Jalapeno IPA Hummus

Jalapenos are the most popular chile peppers in the US. This is probably due to the availability and versatility of the chile. Jalapenos have a balanced combination of flavor and heat.

The demand for these have caused breeders to develop a broad range of varieties. You can now get jalapenos with various heat level and sizes. These can be used in salsas, stuffed, or eaten straight with cheeseburgers (my personal favorite).

Ingredients:

2 fresh jalapenos, stemmed, seeded and chopped (about 1/4 cup)
3 tbs tahini
1 1/2 cups cooked garbanzo beans, drained
1/3 cup chopped cilantro
1 tbs olive oil
1 lime, juiced (about 1 tbs)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 cup IPA Beer (plus additional if needed)

Instructions:

Add all ingredients to a food processor and process until smooth. Add additional IPA for a thinner dip. Serve with pita or chips.

*Note: most of the heat from Jalapenos are in the seeds. If you want a hotter hummus, you can leave the seeds in. If the finished dip is too mild, add 1/4 tsp chili powder for a spicier dip
