Equipment

  • 1 Food processor

Ingredients
  

Prepare the Chickpeas

  • 400 g Chickpeas cooked from a jar
  • 8 Cup Fresh water
  • ¼ teaspoon Baking soda

For the Hummus

  • ¼ cup Hot water
  • 30 g Roasted pine nut butter
  • 2 tablespoon Jalapeno brine
  • 2 tablespoon Lime juice
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • 40 g Jalapeno minced from a jar
  • 2 Ice cubes

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chickpeas

  • Start by boiling 2 liters of water (eight cups) in a medium to large pan.
  • When the water is boiling, add the ¼ teaspoon of baking soda.
  • Drain and rinse the jarred chickpeas and add to the boiling water.
  • Boil the chickpeas for half an hour at reduced heat.

Prepare the hummus

  • Drain the chickpeas.
  • Add the cooked chickpeas, ¼ cup hot water, roasted pine nut butter, jalapeno brine, lime juice, and salt to a food processor.
  • Blend everything until smooth and creamy, occasionally scraping the food processor's walls with a spatula. Depending on the power of the food processor, this might take up to 5 minutes.

Achieve the Perfect Texture

  • With the food processor running, add the ice cubes one at a time, allowing each to incorporate fully before adding the next.
  • Continue blending until the hummus reaches a super creamy and fluffy consistency.
  • Finely mince the jalapeno and add it to the hummus.
  • Pulse a few times to incorporate without overmixing, ensuring bursts of spicy flavor in every bite.
  • Transfer the hummus to a serving plate or glass container and enjoy it with your favorite veggies or as an addition to poke bowls, sandwiches, or wraps.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

For the best experience, let the hummus sit for a few hours or overnight before serving. This gives the flavors time to marry and deepen. Enjoy it as a dip, spread, or topping for grain bowls and salads!
