If you love hummus (like we do) you’ve got to try our easy hummus and pesto hummus! Here’s how to make homemade hummus with harissa in a few easy steps:
How to make harissa paste
You can use store-bought harissa for this hummus, but it’s really easy and satisfying to make your own with just a few ingredients. Simply put the following ingredients into your blender or food processor and blend until it’s smooth.
Red bell pepper + red onion: red bell pepper and red onion are common harissa ingredients, making it taste fresh and flavorful. Chiles de Arbol: these small and thin peppers are bold and spicy. If you’re unsure about the spice level, start with just a little and add more to taste. Tomato paste + olive oil: a bit of tomato paste adds bold flavor and rich red color, and the extra virgin olive oil helps to emulsify everything. Spices: we use a flavorful spice mix of cumin, coriander, and sea salt. Lemon juice: for brightness and acidity.
Fresh cut vegetables: we use a mix of carrot sticks, radishes, asparagus spears, snap peas, and cherry tomatoes but you can use any veggie you like, or whatever you have in your fridge. Grilled or toasted baguette: use gluten-free if needed. Or your favorite crackers. Fresh berries: any type of fresh berry or seasonal fruit tastes wonderful and refreshing on this platter. Olives: black kalamata olives are our favorite but you can use other varieties of olives, or a mix.
