Spicy Chipotle Hummus

I just love hummus!

Not only is it delicious, it's packed full of healthy omega 3 fatty acids, protein, iron, manganese and amino acids. And the best thing of it all, it's so simple to make!

All you need a food processor, a blending wand or a blender, and the ingredients below and you're good to go!

In this recipe I decided to add a chipotle chilli and a little coriander to give a spicy and little extra Mexican flavor.

Serve with toasted pita bread or whole-wheat tortillas

Ingredients

• 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed

• 2 tbs. tahini

• 2 tbs. olive oil

• 3 tbs. lemon or lime juice

• 1 chipotle chilli, minced

• 2 garlic cloved, peeled and minced

• 1/2 cup water

• salt to taste

• 4 tbs fresh coriander, finely chopped (optional)

For topping: extra olive oil and paprika

Method

• Throw all the above ingredients into a bowl (or the food processor) except for the water. Add the water little by little till you get the consistency you desire.

• Blend the ingredients till smooth.

• When serving top it off with 2-3 tbs of extra olive oil on top and sprinkle paprika for flavor and colorful presentation.

• Enjoy!
