How exactly do you begin sorting through hundreds of vacation photos? I think procrastination has it's place sometimes...so instead of looking those photos full on in the face, I got back into my humble little kitchen after a week away. Green chiles are still my great love affair of the moment. Paired with hummus, it's a perfect blend of smooth lemony hummus and a bit of green chile kick.
Does hummus really need a recipe? You just throw one 15 ounce can of drained garbanzos into a food processor along with juice of one lemon, 1/4 cup olive oil, one heaping spoonful of tahini(some say this is optional but I think tahini is essential) and 2 garlic gloves and puree like CRAZY. To make it green chile hummus I threw in 2 freshly roasted chiles peeled and chopped and 1/2 tsp cumin before pureeing.
Easy peasy.
I love buying those fancy schmancy sandwiches for lunch that have hummus in them. Throw them on a sandwich or wrap at home and you'll think you have a pretty schmance sandwich too.
Hummus is much easier than sorting through vacation photos.
Green Chile Hummus
1 15oz can garbanzos rinsed and drained
2 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
juice of one lemon
1/4-1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 freshly roasted and peeled green chiles, roughly chopped
1 heaping tbsp tahini
1/2 tsp cumin
Add all ingredients to food processor and blend thoroughly
My pictures stay in the camera for months which is probly worse so I understand! I love hummus and love green chiles. Can't wait to try this.
