  • 2 teaspoons Adobo sauce from canned chipotle chiles, seeds removed ; (use more or less to taste)

Directions
  1. Puree all ingredients except bean liquid in a food processor. Gradually add the minimum amount of chickpea liquid required to give the mixture a thick, creamy, smooth consistency. Blend until all graininess is gone. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour.

This is just my style! I can't wait to try this.


This looks soooo good, my husband would probably even love it! Thanks, can't wait to try!


Whoa nelly! I was so excited to make this. Then when I did I thought my taste buds were going to blow up! It was good... but SO much spicier than I had anticipated! Maybe I'm a total weiner but this was HOT! And there's more of it than I could possibly eat alone (it's too hot for my son who usually shares my hummus love). Maybe only 2 chipotles next time! ;-)


I just noticed that I neglected to mention that I usually scrape out the seeds, and just use the flesh... did you use the seeds? When I used four chiles, it was mildly spicy - definitely too spicy for kids, but should not be so spicy that it masks the flavor... I'll fix the recipe right now to note not to use the seeds.


Love this dish and always love another way to make hummus


Oh yeah...looks good, got to try this one
