Recipe

A Note from Sarah

Combine tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, cayenne pepper, cumin, salt, sesame oil, and hot sauce in a food processor or blender ; blend until very smooth, about 3 minutes . Add garbanzo beans and blend for 2 minutes . Add water and blend for 3 minutes more.

Spicy hummus is one of my favorite apps to make. Inspired by my father, who was from Egypt, we grew up constantly cooking delicious meals together. Food is love for the Elpayaa family, as evident with my brother who owns two successful restaurants.

Chill in refrigerator.

For fluffier hummus add 3 to 4 tablespoons of water instead of 2. If you really like it hot, add an extra teaspoon of cayenne pepper or a halved, seeded hot red pepper in the beginning.
