Green Chili Hummus Dip Recipes

SMOKY GARLIC HUMMUS DIP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the almonds on a baking sheet and toast until light brown and fragrant, 7 to 10 minutes. Transfer the almonds to a bowl and reserve. Turn the oven up to broil. Toss the scallions with the oil and some salt and pepper on the baking sheet. Broil until the scallions are charred and black in spots but not burned, stirring halfway through, about 2 minutes. Let the scallions cool, then chop them and reserve.
• Stir the hummus, smoked paprika, cayenne and half of the peppers together in a medium bowl until well mixed. Spread the mixture into a 2-quart earthenware crock and smooth the top.
• Scatter the scallions, almonds, parsley and remaining peppers on top in stripes alternating red and green. Sprinkle with additional smoked paprika and drizzle with a little olive oil. Serve with warm pita.

CHEF JOHN'S GREEN HUMMUS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add the basil and cook uncovered until bright green, about 20 seconds. Immediately plunge basil in ice water until cold. Squeeze basil to remove excess moisture and pat dry with a paper towel.
• Put basil, garlic, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon olive oil, garbanzo beans, and white beans, salt, and black pepper, respectively, in a blender. Cover and blend until almost smooth; add remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and puree until smooth.

ROASTED GREEN CHILI HUMMUS

Steps:

• Boil garbanzo beans in salted water for 10-12 minutes. Drain and place into food processor.
• Add remaining ingredients. Blend until smooth.
• If it does not become smooth enough for your taste, add additional water, olive oil, or lime juice - depending on the flavor you desire.
• Add Salt and Pepper to taste. Pulse to mix through.
• If you like a bit more heat than the green chili gives, add a bit of jalapeno or serrano pepper. Whatever you do -- please -- don't add canned diced chilis. The vinegary canned flavor does not go well with the garbanzo beans.
• Serve with warm soft pitas or crispy pita chips.
