Warm & Spicy Walnut Hummus

I'm telling you, if you haven't had warm hummus before, you haven't REALLY had hummus.  I'm not sure why, but I can honestly eat a whole bowl...Ok, so then it's no longer a condiment, but rather a meal in itself, but I'm ok with that scenario.  Actually ecstatic about it. And completely fulfilled, with some carrots and olives and an orange for dessert. How's that for whole foods?

3 cups hot chickpeas (preferably just home-made)
1/2 cup walnuts
2 small garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon chipotle powder (you can use less if you don't like it as spicy)
Sea salt, to taste
A little water to get it going

Combine all ingredients together in a food processor and add as much water as needed to make it the consistency you'd like. If you like the walnuts a bit on the chunky side, you're set.  If you want the hummus super creamy, just process the walnuts first until the resemble rice, then proceed with the rest of the recipe. Serve with olives.  Eat with a large spoon.  Be tickled pink at how good it tastes.
