I've taken inspiration to make this coriander and green chilli houmous from a local sandwich shop where I've bought their homemade version a couple times...pre-Covid! I remember it having a lovely flavour of coriander and a kick of heat from the green chillis...without losing the houmous taste from the chickpeas and tahini.
I've used half of the ingredients from the best basic houmous recipe already here on Felly Bull, and added some roughly chopped coriander and a deseeded green chilli. I'm so pleased that the end result is very similar...and (possibly!) better than the homemade local version I'd bought!!
I love houmous as part of a meze, with toasted pitta bread, and with carrot and cucumber sticks for a healthy snack.
Enjoy this delicious coriander and green chilli houmous as a starter, side or snack.
