First things first –
What is Peri Peri sauce?
Sometimes known as Piri Piri (or even Pili Pili), Peri Peri sauce is an African sauce made from spicy African Bird’s Chillis. It’s got a gorgeous twang to it and goes great with chicken, and in this case, hummus. For this recipe I use a combination of Peri Peri sauce and Peri Peri seasoning.
What Peri Peri sauce to use?
I go for Nandos Medium spice. Any higher and it starts to overpower the flavours in the hummus.
The BEST Spicy Hummus Recipe
You could make spicy hummus using jalapeños, or even cayenne pepper, but neither compare to the deliciousness of Peri Peri sauce. The flavours go perfectly with the classic tones of hummus. When it comes to the hummus itself, here’s a couple of tips:
Tips for the Best Hummus
Chickpea Brine – Don’t drain away the brine! Use it to thin out the hummus as needed. Smooth Hummus – Don’t be scared to pulse the hummus for 5mins+. I usually scrape it with a spatula a few times to make sure there’s no lumpy bits hiding anywhere. Room Temp – Always serve at room temp, tastes so much better than straight out the fridge.
What to serve with spicy hummus?
Pita Chips Tortilla Chips Chicken Tenders Potato Wedges Peppers, Carrots or Veg of choice!
How to store hummus?
Pop in an airtight container and pop in the fridge. I usually keep mine for 4-5days (more at your discretion). Just bring to room temp before serving. You can also freeze hummus and defrost in the fridge overnight. And there we have it! Spicy Peri Peri hummus is yours for the taking!
