spicy hummus

this isn’t exactly from the garden, but it does contain stuff from the garden… don’t get too technical. i used foodtv’s rachael ray’s recipe called spicy hummus: quick chickpea spread

tahini and the Goya™ chickpeas.

since the recipe was wussy in the garlick department, i added the equivalent of four cloves, instead of one.

instead of adding “ground pepper flakes” (which we didn’t have), i used some home-smoked peppers from the garden from last season’s crop. though only one of them was a “chipotle”, i used a few other varieties as well. can you blame me, i mean, i had to pimp it up a notch!

the spices. starting from the upper center clockwise is the kosher salt, the ground coriander seeds, the tahini, the chopped up “chipotle” peppers, and the ground cumin. you can’t see the lime juice.

the final product. the picture doesn’t do it justice… just an incentive for others to try it.

let me just say that my version of this recipe needs black box warning, like the ones the FDA on certain medications: use with caution, especially around vampires.

i highly recommend modifying this recipe to your liking!
