15 ounces chickpeas 1 (15-ounce) can drained and rinsed, or 1 ½ cups cooked
6 ounces marinated artichoke hearts jarred, drained, and liquid reserved
3 Calabrian chili peppers or 1 tablespoon harissa, or ¾ teaspoon red chili flakes
1 large clove garlic
2 tablespoons hemp hearts (optional but recommended)
1 lemon zest and juice
2 tablespoons capers drained and rinsed (preferably reduced sodium, optional)

Transfer the chickpeas, drained artichoke hearts, Calabrian peppers, garlic, and hemp hearts to the canister of a food processor or immersion blender cup. Add 2 tablespoons of the liquid from the jarred artichoke hearts, zest of 1 lemon, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
Blend until mostly smooth, adding extra-virgin olive oil, more lemon juice, or artichoke marinade until the desired texture and taste.
Top with capers for serving, if using.

This recipe is extremely low in oil. A minimal amount of oil comes from the marinated artichokes and Calabrian chili peppers. For an oil-free artichoke hummus, use crushed red pepper flakes and artichoke hearts marinated in brine instead.
Serve with this tempeh bacon for a flavor-packed high-protein breakfast or lunch.
