Cilantro Jalapeno Hummus
- 1 15 oz can of chickpeas, drained (save liquid!)
- 3 cloves garlic, peeled
- 2-3 hot sauce (I used Cholulu)
- 1 jalapeno, (with or without seeds, be careful, the seeds make it HOT!)

- 1 t agave
- 2 T Srirarcha (you could use Cholulu)
- 3 T Veganaise

Instructions
- For Falafel, combine all ingredients except for oat flour in food processor and process until combined and no large chunks of chickpeas are left.
- Transfer mixture to a bowl, add a little oat flour and stir into chickpea mixture.
- Taste and add more seasoning, if neccessary.
- You want to be able to form the mixture into patties.
- It is okay if it is a little sticky, but they need to hold their shape.
- If they need more oat flour, add it.
- Put formed patties on a cookie sheet sprayed with cooking spray.
- Spray a little cooking spray on top of patties.
- Bake at 400 degrees for about 15 minutes.
- Flip patties over and bake for another 7 minutes until both sides are browned.
- Be careful not to overcook or they will dry out.
- For Hummus, combine all ingredients in food processor and process until smooth.
- For Tahinia Sauce, combine all ingredients in food processor and process until smooth.
- Serve Falafel in pita or flatbread with Hummus, Tahini Sauce, and your desired veggies.
