Spicy Hummus
Spice up your hummus with your favorite hot sauce. Just remember, the heat level you choose will be intensified in the Vitamix.
Ingredients
- 2 (16) ounces (840 g) cans chickpeas, one can drained, one reserved
- 2 Tablespoons hot sauce
- ½ cup (70 g) sesame seeds, toasted
- ½ lemon, peeled
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt, optional
Directions
- With a peeler or paring knife, remove the peel and white pith from the lemon, leaving just the flesh. Place all ingredients into the Vitamix container in the order listed and secure the lid.
- Start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed.
- Blend for 1 minute or until smooth, using the tamper to press ingredients toward the blades.
Chef's Notes
Reserve additional chickpea liquid or add water if a thinner hummus is desired.

Cheap and authentic!
Here's a way to put your high priced Vitamix to quick and money saving good use.
Instead of buying Sabra Hummus, I prepared this recipe several times using a variety of herbs from my garden. The result? Delectable and authentic humus that makes all supermarket refrigerated hummus products pale!

Came out great!
Followed the recipe but used garlic tahini so I left out the garlic clove.
Served drizzled with olive oil and a light coating of paprika.
A review stated there were no sesame seeds in the recipe, but tahini is a paste from ground sesame seeds and is what is used when making traditional hummus.

Very smooth hummus
This recipe makes a very smooth hummus but I did not use the tamper, I added about a 1/4 cup of water when the ingredients became too thick and then I turned it on high, stopped it once and cleaned down the sides with a small spatula, resumed and it turned out very smooth and delish. Two tablespoons of Frank's hot sauce makes it only mildly spicy which is fine by me.

This Vitamix doesn't disappoint! I inherited my grandmother's and am finding many ways to use this than she would ever imagine, this hummus is one of them. While I like hummus, now that I can make it in my Vitamix, I love it! The flavor is so much better than the hummus eaten from the store... no comparsion
