Chestnut Hummus

If you think you’ve exhausted your repertoire of hummus riffs, think again: This chestnut version is a unique twist that feels just right for fall and winter. The dip incorporates lemon juice, tahini, olive oil, and garlic—just like any classic hummus recipe—but features chestnuts in place of chickpeas. The nuts blend to a smooth texture that’s similar to pureed beans, and they lend the hummus an unmistakably rich, sweet backnote. Look for precooked chestnuts, either jarred or vacuum sealed, in the produce section. Serve with your favorite veggie dippers.
