Homemade hummus recipe made with chickpeas, tahini, zesty lime and topped with blistered shishito peppers and sesame seeds.
Equipment
- High-powered blender
Ingredients
- 3-4 pieces Naan bread
- 9-10 shishito peppers
- 1 can chick peas
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 2 tbsp cooking oil
- 1 tbsp lime zest
- 1 tbsp sesame seeds
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
Instructions
- Toast Naan bread and set aside.
- Heat cooking oil in a pan on medium high heat. Once hot, add shishito peppers and cook until charred. Keep rotating the peppers until all sides have a char. They will expand and burst. Keep an eye on them. Once charred on all sides, set aside and let cool.
- Once the peppers have cooled, chop them up. Place half of the chopped shishito peppers into a high powered blender. Reserve the other half for topping.
- Add all other ingredients EXCEPT the sesame seeds (they are for garnish) into the blender and blend well.
- Transfer into a serving dish and garnish with reserved chopped shishito peppers, extra virgin olive oil, lime juice and sesame seeds. Serve with toasted Naan bread or corn chips.
