Serve this Sweet and Spicy Hummus, made with pureed chick peas, Sriracha sauce and brown sugar, as a game winning appetizer!
Sweet and Spicy Hummus
This week #SundaySupper is all about recipes that are great for eating while watching the big game. Our host is T.R. Crumbley of Gluten Free Crumbley.
I love hummus, but I'll admit I don't make it at home all that often. I've had lots of different kinds, just recently discovering sweet and spicy hummus. You might remember I was a little late to the sriracha craze, but boy do I love it! Mix it in with some brown sugar, and it's like heaven for me! I know spicy isn't for everyone, you can easily adjust the amount of sriracha in this recipe.
I made it in my blender, and I should have done it in two batches. I had to keep stopping the blender and stir the chick peas in. If you have a food processor, I would recommend using it instead. Otherwise, two batches is best.
Check out all of the yummy game day recipes below!
Sweet and Spicy Hummus
Ingredients
- 31 ounces canned chick peas, drained and rinsed (garbanzo beans)
- ¼ cup tahini paste, well mixed (found in the Asian section of the supermarket)
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup sriracha
- 6 tablespoons water
- 3 tablespoons packed brown sugar
Instructions
- Place the chick peas, tahini paste, olive oil, sriracha, and water in a food processor, or if using a blender place half of the ingredients in the blender.
- Puree until smooth, scraping down the sides of the food processor or blender as needed. Serve chilled with pita chips or fresh vegetables for dipping. Also great as a sandwich spread.

This sounds like the boars head sweet chili garlic style which I love and can't always find. Can't wait to try it.

I was curious to see where the "sweet" came from. I never would've thought brown sugar! Love this idea.

I had seen it done with honey, but I wanted to do something different. Thanks!
