Preparation
Step 1
In a blender or food processor combine cilantro, peppers and garlic. Pulse until combined and finely chopped. In a ramekin stir together lemon juice and water (or bean water). In a separate ramekin stir together tahini and olive oil. Set both aside.
To the cilantro, jalapenos and garlic, add chick peas and lemon/water mix. Puree and scrape sides as needed. Add salt, cumin and cayenne and slowly pour in tahini/oil mixture. Puree again and scrap down sides until well combined.
Spoon hummus into a serving bowl and cover with aluminum foil or plastic wrap and keep in fridge. As I said, it’s best the day after, so let it chill overnight if possible.
