Good eats...

Way off topic, but this is too good not to share. It’s nice and cool for a late summer lunch; I eat it with crackers, but I bet it’d be good with pita or any other flat bread.


Chipotle hummus

2 (15.5 ounce) cans garbanzo beans, drained
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 canned chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
2 cloves garlic
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
1/2 teaspoon salt
ground black pepper to taste

Blend everything but the cilantro in a blender or food processor until smooth; I then hand chop and add the cilantro afterwards and mix thoroughly. You could add a ¼ cup tahini is you have it; and maybe some chopped roasted red bell peppers too; but not necessary. Make sure to use only one chipotle chili; I gave this to someone, and they used one *can* chipotles! Um… a little too picante! I also took the time to hand-squeeze the lemon juice; there’s enough lemon in it to make a big difference.

I don’t know if chipotle chilies are available nationwide; they're sold in small cans in the Mexican section of the markets out here. I suppose you could substitute any moderately hot chili, but these are smoked jalapeños, and the adobo sauce they’re packed in makes them last for a long time.

Enjoy—

Bill

Thanks for bumping this thread back up - I'm heading out for tahini now.

Countdown is on - just a few more pills.  Fantastic!

BTW Bill, I'm coming to your house to eat   ;^)

Good grief; I helped three friends relocate those last few months of treatment… moving’s a lot of work. Time to sort through heavily, before the stuff that never gets used finds new digs :).

Best to you; let me know how things go as the haze lifts,

How do I feel? Slightly overcooked. ;)

Last shot was last night. I'm ready to start the long climb back. We moved into our new home a couple of weeks ago and that got my mind off of counting the days. I've been spending my time buried in boxes and wondering why I have so much stuff!

Thanks :o). I’m actually soaking beans as we speak… really! What a coincidence! I tried dried cici's a few weeks ago; they work really well. I also invested in a can of tahini... it's pricey, but lasts for a long time. I only use two or three tablespoons in the recipe.

You’re nearing the end of your journey soon? How do you feel about that?

I love hummus! You guys got me so curious now, I will soak the chick peas leave them till tomorrow and cook them in salt and spices in the morning. I usually make a lot and freeze them in several zip lock bags to use in couscous sauces or salads...

Hehehe, it doesn’t last long if you’ve already starting eating it :o). I go through a bowl in a few hours, Bug. The cumin gives it a smoky flavor, but I think hummus is good with just the lemon juice and garlic. Thanks for stopping back in; and enjoy—

Just made this and it's awesome. I didn't have one of my favorite (and a key ingredient) the comino, but I added a seasoning that has cumin it it. Yes, a processed, non-organic seasoning, but I didn't add the 1/2 tsp of salt, so I think I'm even almost....
Eating it by myself, how long does hummus last?

Oh Bill! You culinary artist you, I can't wait to try this. Ilove hummus.

There's not many foods I don't like. I use to play a game that I self-titled "stump the pig". I'd ask patients to stand and throw bean bags while trying to name a food I didn't like. There aren't many! I mean really, things that gross most people out, I can enjoy making a snack of.  Ever had menudo?

Maybe you should have made the tilte of this "Food-do you love it?":)

Shakespeare said "If music be the food of love, play on" (ok not much to do with love of eating)

George Bernard Shaw's  " There is no sincerer love than the love of food" describes my love life....

and this one is a little cheesy, but what the heck, just quoting others: "Great food is like great sex.  The more you have the more you want.  ~Gael Greene

Can't wait to try the hummus with my family, thanks again!

Glad you are enjoying your meal my friend =)

Would try to copy you if it weren't for the fact that I'm not so good with the American non SI-units and don't understand all the ingredients. A bit too advanced English for me :P
