I had joined a challenge called “Recipe Swap” sometime back and participated in one challenge. But then, it just fizzled down and didn’t take off. In November, Mir took over the reins of the group and decided to kick-start the challenge. I decided to participate this month and thankfully there was enough time to cook the dish before my parents landed. Hehe…
I was assigned Ali’s blog “Fix Me a Little Lunch“. She is a US based food blogger, and as mentioned in her blog, she tries to cook and eat food cooked from organic sources and at home. As is my nature, my first instance was to try a sweet recipe. So I hovered around a few like the Blueberry Peach Coffee Cake, the very intriguing Star Anise Pannacotta and these Mini Strawberry Chocolate Galette. But then I had already baked way too much sweet last month and couldn’t take it any more. So I first decided to make this delicious soup, since it is officially soup season in the UAE. But then I realized I didn’t have too much time to cook and while I had decided to make the chicken roast, I searched up to see if she had any dip recipe and landed up on this quick fix of a hummus recipe.
I must say that the kick of sriracha in hummus was amazing! I drizzle sriracha into my cheese sandwich or on my omelette wrapped around some rocket leaves for that spicy kick. I bought in the beans tins and was so ready to make my hummus when I realized that my bottle of sriracha hardly had anything in it! I poured a couple of tablespoons of water into the bottle and shook it vigorously to empty the bottle into the blending mixture. How many of you do that? 😀 I am very thrifty that way, hehe… Anyway, I totally loved the slight spicy flavor of the hummus. I do add paprika into my recipe, but this was a step forward. Totally a must-try… thank you Ali for this amazing recipe! 🙂

Such an interesting twist to the regular hummus. I can imagine just how flavourful this tasted!
Thank you so much Priya…
The hummus looks lip smacking..I’m loving it as this is protein rich with the addition of beans along with chickpeas…
Thank you so much Lathiya…
what a great idea to add sriracha and yes I do the same adding water to get every scrap of product out of my bottles 🙂
Thank you so much Mir… 🙂
I love hummus as it is so versatile nad can be flavoured with any ingredient. Yours looks delicious especially with the spicy kick from the sriracha sauce.
Thank you so much Nayana…
Rafeeda, wonderful pick fro Ali’s space. Infact I did the same too from her space earlier and loved it. The Sriracha Spice provides a unique flavour and the smoothness from the White beans makes it very different and exciting. Glad to see you had the same feeling.
Thank you so much Seema… indeed, it is a different hummus…
Thank you for making this! It’s always so much fun to see someone make one of my recipes! Love the idea of getting the last bit of sriracha out of the bottle – I’ll be trying that soon.
Thank you so much Ali…
Love hummus and when you see a recipe with double beans and spicy sauce, I am sold! Perfect with some vegetable crudites!
Thank you so much Jagruti…
Shake the bottle with water? Same pinch. I paid for the last drop of the sauce, of course, I will shake the bottle. 😀
I love this hummus here and with my elder one coming down next month hummus with sriracha she will love.
Haha yes of course! 😀 Thank you so much Archana…
What a delicious hummus recipe, using two beans and adding Sriracha.Now it just needs some crackers.
Thank you so much Mayuriji…
I have a can of white beans sitting in my pantry and I was wondering how to use it. This is a brilliant idea to use it to make hummus. Looks so delicious and my boys would love it with some veggie sticks!
So just go ahead, you wont be disappointed! Thank you so much Sandhya…
Addition of Sriracha to the hummus must have really added to the taste. It is not being trifty, it is that you are not wasting any food and using everything possible. Even I am like that. 🙂
Thank you so much Renu… 🙂
This is a wonderful twist to the hummus, it must be tasty. Its ideal not to waste food.
Thanks a lot Jayashree…
Such an interesting twist to the regular hummus. Both beans and chickpeas all at one !!!! I can imagine just how flavorful is this 🙂
Thank you so much Sasmita…
