Spicy Roasted Jalapeno & Garlic Hummus

This one was long overdue, guys. I love spicy food and I just do not know why I didn't make it earlier. But better late than never as they say, right?
This roasted jalapeno, garlic and tomato is to die for, I kid you not! It is probably going to be a little challenging for me to sum up the recipe for it because I was eyeballing my ingredients a ton just kinda seeing what is going to work and what not. I must say, I am beyond happy with the final product. Definitely recommend trying this hummus to all the spice lovers out there!

Ingredients:

• 2 cups cooked chickpeas (drained);
• 1/4 cup lemon or lime juice (I used both);
• 1/4 cup EVOO;
• 2-3 teaspoons tahini paste + some of its oil;
• 1 roasted jalapeno pepper;
• 1 roasted tomato (medium size);
• 4-6 large roasted garlic cloves;

Spices: salt, pepper, cumin, coriander, chili powder, turmeric, caraway, nutmeg, cloves, parsley flakes. All those to taste. You can start with a pinch of each and work from there.
Garnish: roasted chickpeas, roasted pine nuts, EVOO, chopped cilantro or parsley.

Directions:

Here goes my favorite part, guys. Combine all of the ingredients in your food processor and pulse into a smooth paste. If the mixture is too thick, thin it down with extra lemon/lime juice, olive oil or water, adjust the spice level.

Serve with pita bread or grilled chicken, use as a dip or on a sandwich, in other words, do as you please and enjoy!
