Thai Peanut Hummus

This twist on hummus is full of Thai flavours and aromas. Use it in sandwiches or wraps, or on its own with crackers and fresh veggies.

Yield: 1½ cups

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 can (540mL) chickpeas, drained and rinsed
  • 1 clove garlic, smashed
  • 1 lime, zest and juice
  • 1½ Tbsp Thai curry paste (we like Thai Kitchen’s Yellow Curry Paste)
  • ⅓ cup Nuts to You Peanut Butter Smooth
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil or a neutral oil
  • 2 Tbsp cold water
  • 1 handful of cilantro, roughly chopped
  • 1 tsp salt
  • Lime wedges, chopped roasted peanuts and cilantro or Thai basil for garnish

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. In a food processor or a high speed blender, combine all the ingredients except the garnishes until smooth and well blended, about 2 minutes. If necessary, stop half way through to scrap the vessel with a spatula.
  2. Enjoy immediately or keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Serve on a plate, making swirls with the back of a spoon, and garnish with fresh lime juice, roasted peanuts and your choice of aromatic herbs.
