Chipotle HummusIngredients (use vegan versions): 1 can chickpeas
2-4 chipotle peppers in Adobo, diced
1 tablespoon adobo sauce (use what the chipotles are packed in)
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 clove garlic, finely diced
1 small or ½ medium onion, diced
1 tablespoons oil for sautéing
pinch of salt
hot sauce (optional)
fresh cilantro (optional)
Directions:You can make this rustic style, mashing the chickpeas by hand with a potato masher, or you can put everything in the food processor if you want a more creamy texture.
Rustic Style:
Heat the oil over medium-low heat. Add the onions along with a pinch of salt, sauté until translucent. Then add the garlic and another pinch of salt, and continue sautéing until the onions start to caramelize. Meanwhile, drain and rinse chickpeas. Place in medium size bowl and mash with a potato masher. Then add the chipotle peppers, adobo, cumin, and sautéed onions and garlic. Continue mashing until the mixture is creamy, and resembles hummus. You may need to add more adobo to achieve a creamy texture. To finish, tear in the fresh cilantro.
