Ingredients
  

Hummus Ingredients
  • 15 oz canned chickpeas drained and rinsed
  • 0.25 cup tahini
  • 0.25 cup buffalo wing sauce such as Frank's RedHot
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 tablespoons cold water or reserved chickpea liquid, adjust as needed
Optional Garnish
  • 2 tablespoons blue cheese crumbles
  • 2 stalks celery cut into sticks, for serving
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Combine the drained chickpeas, tahini, buffalo wing sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper in the bowl of a food processor.
  2. Process until the mixture is smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  3. With the food processor running, gradually add the cold water (or reserved chickpea liquid) 1 tablespoon at a time until the hummus reaches your desired consistency. You may need more or less depending on your preference.
  4. Taste the hummus and adjust seasonings as necessary. Add more buffalo sauce for extra heat, or lemon juice for more tang.
  5. Transfer the buffalo wing hummus to a serving bowl. Garnish with blue cheese crumbles and chopped fresh parsley, if using. Serve immediately with celery sticks, pita bread, tortilla chips, or your favorite dippers.

Notes

This hummus is best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. For an even creamier texture, you can remove the skins from the chickpeas before processing, though this is optional.
