Thai Peanut Hummus is a unique and flavorful twist on the traditional hummus dish. Combining the creamy texture of chickpeas with the rich, nutty flavor of peanut butter, this recipe is further enhanced by the kick of chili sauce and the aromatic touch of ginger and garlic. Paired with fresh celery sticks, this hummus makes for a delicious and healthy snack or appetizer that's sure to impress your guests.
Instructions:
- If using canned chickpeas, drain and rinse them thoroughly. If using dried chickpeas, soak them overnight and cook until tender.
- In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, peanut butter, chili sauce, ground ginger, minced garlic, honey, and olive oil. Blend until smooth.
- Gradually add the water to the mixture, blending continuously until you achieve your desired hummus consistency. If needed, you can add a bit more water.
- Add the finely chopped onions, a dash of black pepper, and a dash of salt to the hummus. Pulse the food processor a few times to incorporate these ingredients, ensuring the onions are well mixed but still provide some texture.
- Add the toasted peanuts and the chopped coriander leaves to the hummus mixture. Pulse the food processor a few times, just enough to incorporate them into the hummus without completely blending them smooth.
- Add the lime juice to the hummus and give it one last blend to ensure all the flavors are well integrated. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or chili sauce if needed.
- Transfer the Thai peanut hummus to a serving bowl. Serve immediately with the celery sticks on the side for dipping. You can also chill the hummus in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving for a firmer texture.
- Sprinkle some additional chopped coriander leaves and a few whole peanuts on top for garnish before serving.
Tips:
- 1. For an extra creamy texture, peel the chickpeas before blending.
- 2. Adjust the amount of chili sauce based on your heat preference.
- 3. Roasting the garlic cloves before adding them can enhance their flavor.
- 4. If the hummus is too thick, gradually add more water until you reach the desired consistency.
- 5. Garnish with additional coriander leaves and chopped peanuts for added texture and presentation.
There you have it – a delightful Thai Peanut Hummus that will be a hit at any gathering.
