I keep homemade crushed red pepper oil on hand to use as a simple seasoning and flavor accent. I call it fire oil and it couldn’t be easier to make. Sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes into hot olive oil let it cool and then ignore it. The flavor brightens over the next day or two and the longer I let it sit the better. I also make hummus regularly to eat as an afternoon snack but it hadn’t occurred to me to combine these two favorites until now. So here you have it a kind of hummus made with pureed chickpeas toasted walnuts and spicy crushed red pepper oil. The rustic red pepper flakes and translucent olive oil pop against the creamy backdrop of the pureed beans. To top it off I couldn’t resist a few oily black olives and chopped cilantro — both of which I had on hand.
