Guest guest Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 I'm addicted to hummus. No, seriously. I start to get twitchy if I don't have any in the house, and if I haven't tried a new combination in a few weeks, I get nervous. Actually, it's not that bad. But if you've been reading any food blogs lately, you'll know that hummus has become the new thing. Everyone is making hummus, and seriously, if you're still buying it? Please, I beg you to try it at home. You'll never look back. Not only is it easy, quick, and delicious, it's extremely economical and most of the ingredients are already stocked in your pantry. This is my new favorite hummus. I've been tossing this idea around for the past few days, wondering how the flavors would be together, and finally decided to try it today. Let me tell you - I'm rather glad I did. I love chipolte chilis, especially in adobo sauce, and the smokiness of it adds such a lovely flavor to it. Check out the finished recipe at http://28cooks.blogspot.com Chipolte Cilantro Hummus 2 (15 oz) cans garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained 4 canned chipolte chiles, and 1 tbsp adobo sauce 1 clove garlic 1/2 c olive oil 1/4 tsp cumin 1 tbsp cilantro Puree chipolte chiles and adobo sauce in a food processor until well minced. Add chickpeas, and garlic, and process until smooth. (As a note, I prefer texture in my hummus, so I minced the adobo, handmashed the chickpeas to desired texture, and then added the rest of the ingredients by hand). Slowly drizzle in olive oil until well mixed. Add cumin and pulse a few times. Add cilantro and pulse twice more. Allow to chill in the refrigerator for an hour or so for flavors to bloom. Serve with pita chips, tortilla chips, or wrapped in a tortilla with fresh veggies and sprouts. Enjoy! Christiane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 I had to laugh about your comment. Twitchy eh? LOL I love hummus also and your are right, with a food processor it is so quick and easy to make. Thanks for this hummus recipe variation. Judy >I'm addicted to hummus. No, seriously.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Christiane, I too am addicted to hummus and always make my own. I love to dip with blue corn chips or my own home made crackers. Have you tried making hummus with soy beans? Yummy taste. There is no end to things one can add. I am going to work on a sweet and sour hummus. Will post the recipe if I get it perfected.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Sarah, Crackers and tortilla chips are fun and easy to make. I buy an instant masa mix follow the recipe for tortillas and bake them in the oven until brown and crispy. Add any kind of spice/herbs that you choose to the mix. I also make crackers using Polenta/cornmeal. I am working on a graham cracker recipe now and as soon as I get it the way I want I will post it. There is no limit to the variety of crackers one can make and they are so inexpensive compared to store bought. Donna has posted a good cracker recipe in the files ..Check it out.
