Hummus
Total time: 15 minutes
Simple: Put everything in a blender and purée. The recipe calls for tahini or sesame seed paste. You can substitute regular creamy peanut butter. You will need to scrape the sides of the blender with a spatula to get it all properly puréed, and pulse a bit. If still having a hard time add a bit more oil, 1 tsp at a time.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups chickpeas drained, rinsed, 360gr, 12.7oz
- 2 tbs olive oil, 27gr, .96oz
- 1 tbs sesame or walnut oil, 13.6gr, .48oz
- 2 tbs lemon juice, 30gr, 1oz
- 8 - 10 Greek dry-cured black olives, 32.4gr, 1.2oz
- 2 tbs tahini, 30gr, 1oz
Instructions:
- Put all ingredients in blender and purée until smooth. Serve.
Taco Chips Time: 15 minutes
I use a paper towel dipped in olive oil to wipe a bit onto the tops of the chips, helps them get crisp and holds on the seasonings. If doing a whole package of tortillas you may have to work in batches... Or do more another day.
Ingredients:
- tortillas, either corn of flour
- olive oil
- garlic powder
- paprika
- chili powder
- salt - flavored?
Instructions:
- Cut the tortillas into triangles,
- Brush very, very lightly with olive oil, sprinkle on some salt, garlic powder, whatever, and bake, 400F (200C) until light brown, about 10 minutes
