Instructions:

• Step 1: Prepare the Chickpeas - If using dry chickpeas, soak them overnight in plenty of water. Drain and rinse them, then cook them in boiling water for about 1-1.5 hours until they are tender. If using canned chickpeas, simply drain and rinse them under cold water.
• Step 2: Roast the Garlic - Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wrap the garlic cloves in aluminum foil and drizzle with a little olive oil. Roast for about 30-35 minutes, or until the cloves are soft and caramelized. Let them cool slightly before using.
• Step 3: Blend the Ingredients - In your food processor, combine the cooked chickpeas, tahini paste, roasted garlic, jalapeños, cilantro, lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, cumin, and salt. Blend until smooth. You may need to scrape down the sides a few times to ensure everything is well mixed.
• Step 4: Adjust to Taste - Taste your hummus and adjust the seasoning as needed. If you prefer more heat, add more jalapeños. For acidity, a bit more lemon juice can make a big difference.
• Step 5: Serve and Enjoy! - Transfer the Spicy Jalapeo Hummus to a serving bowl. Drizzle with a little extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with additional chopped cilantro if desired. Serve with pita chips, fresh veggies, or spread it on sandwiches for a zesty twist!
