Buffalo Hummus
Before this I have never attempted to make hummus – it is not something I usually eat, but my boyfriend has told me in the past he likes it and since it was football Sunday and I wanted to whip up a quick snack I decided to give it a shot! Also, before making this I didn’t even know that buffalo hummus was a thing, but when I saw that it was I thought it sounded really good! I was afraid of it being too spicy, so I didn’t use too much buffalo, just enough to give it a little kick!
Since I never made this before I looked around to see what is typically added and then put in what I thought would work.
FYI I never heard of tahini before – maybe you have, but I had no idea what it was or where to find it – for those of you that are with me I found it in the aisle with natural/organic products (after I spent 20 minutes looking for it and finally decided to ask someone!) Once I looked there I found it in seconds.
This hummus took probably less than ten minutes to make – no cooking involved! I served the hummus with pita crackers and my boyfriend munched on it all day while watching the games and said he loved it! I will definitely make this again – it was so easy!
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups of chickpeas
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ cup tahini – I did not add the full amount
- 1 tbsp buffalo sauce (Frank’s Red Hot Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce)
- Sprinkle of red pepper flakes
- Pita crackers to serve with
Directions
- Drain chickpeas into a strainer and rinse with water.
- Add chickpeas and all other ingredients to a food processor and blend!
**The cuisinart food processor that I used isn’t too big, so in order to get the chickpeas to blend better I did wind up splitting it half and half so it wasn’t too full.
- Add to a bowl and sprinkle with red pepper flakes.
Serve with crackers or celery and enjoy!
