Instructions
- Prepare the hummus base: Combine chickpeas, lime zest, lime juice, garlic, cilantro, green curry paste, coconut milk, tahini, pinch of red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper in a food processor. Blend until the mixture is finely ground and uniform in texture.
- Incorporate olive oil: While the food processor is running, slowly stream in the olive oil to emulsify and create a smooth, creamy hummus consistency. Continue to purée for several minutes to achieve an extra smooth texture. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed.
- Transfer and garnish: Spoon the hummus into a serving bowl. Top with extra chickpeas if desired, a sprinkle of red pepper flakes, a drizzle of olive oil and coconut milk, chopped peanuts, freshly chopped cilantro, and lime slices for a vibrant presentation.
- Serve: Accompany the green curry hummus with fresh vegetables, pita bread, and pita chips for dipping. Enjoy as a flavorful appetizer or snack.
Notes
- Peeling chickpeas can help make the hummus extra smooth and creamy, but it’s optional.
- Use full-fat coconut milk for the richest flavor and texture.
- Adjust the amount of green curry paste to control the spice level according to your preference.
- This hummus keeps well refrigerated for up to 4 days in an airtight container.
- For a nut-free version, omit the chopped peanuts on top.
- If you don’t have a food processor, a high-powered blender can be used but may require additional liquid for smoothness.
