A delicious hommus dip that’s zingy and fresh with Thai-inspired flavours of lime, chilli and coriander.
It’s no secret that I’m somewhat addicted to the flavourful combination of chilli and lime. And to be honest, why wouldn’t I be? It’s perfect.
So when I came across a Thai Chilli and Lime Hommus at Orange Grove markets, I bought a couple of tubs, and within a couple of days they were both gone. Scraping the last bits out of the tub was extremely frustrating. In need of a further dip fix, I rummaged through the pantry and found a can of chickpeas. Great! Now I could make my own, and it only took minutes.
Unlike traditional hommus, this version is zingy and fresh, bursting with the citrusy flavours of lime juice and freshly chopped coriander.
- 1 (440g) can chickpeas, liquid reserved
- 2 tbsp tahini
- 4 tbsp peanut oil
- ½ cup lime juice
- 2 sprigs fresh coriander, chopped finely
- 1 red long chilli, de-seeded and chopped finely
- Place all ingredients in a large bowl and process with a stick blender until all chickpeas have been pureed.
- Add reserved chickpea liquid to the dip for a more runny consistency.
- Serve with crackers or vegetable sticks.
Yum!
These are my favourite flavours too, but I me er thought of adding them to hummus. Love it!
Love this idea!
I love the twist on this classic!
Well may you scorn – I use hommus regularly instead of butter, margarine [ugh!] or any other spread [well, I do love plain avocado!]. This one I really like and will really try
! Thanks!
I think that’s a fabulous idea!
What an easy to whip up dish! Hommus never lasts long in our household, and I do make it. Love the flavours you have used, sounds delicious.
I am too, I like the combination with prawns – it works SO well. This hummus looks great – I love adding flavours like this to hummus.
This sounds fantastic, Martyna! I love chili and lime together, too – so I can’t wait to try it.
I love hummus but have never made it on my own and limes and chili are permanently in my fridge (I love both), so I’m sure I would love this hot and tangy version.
What a great change from the every day hummus recipes we see.. it must be so fresh with the addition of lime!
I adore hummus and the flavors you have added — I will be making this soon!
Now that’s just pretty! Sounds wonderful.
Now this is fusion cuisine! Love it, Martyna, beautiful work.
Hmmm this looks delicious! I still have a lot of thai chili left. And we have a long weekend with BBQ party. I will have to make this! Can’t wait to try it!
