Roasted Jalapeno Hummus

Apr 15, 2016 · Leave a Comment

Chick peas, also known as garbanzo beans, are a good source of protein, iron and several other vitamins and minerals. Hummus is a staple in our house and this Roasted Jalapeno Hummus is the latest flavour addition to our weekly rotation.

Hummus is a popular Middle Eastern Dip and spread. A dish we did not grow up with and only learned about later in life through our many food adventures. It’s the perfect healthy dip for fresh vegetables. In fact it is so good for you, here are 8 Great Reasons to Eat More Hummus.

Adding roasted jalapenos was a no brainer for me as I love spice just not too spicy. Roasting jalapenos breaks down the capsaicin in the skin, reducing the pepper’s heat while giving it a sweet and smoky flavour. It is important to note some jalapenos can be hotter than others. Just like some oranges or grapes taste better than others, or onions can make you cry worse than the previous one. Using jalapenos in any dish may result in a mild experience or wild adventure depending on how spicy they are. Therefore you may want to start with just 1 jalapeno depending on your heat level tolerance.

I also love roasted garlic and roast up to 4 bulbs at a time keeping them in the refrigerator to use as needed. Once roasted squish out the entire contents of one roasted garlic bulb into this hummus for added flavour.

Chickpea and Artichoke Salad

May 23, 2012 · 2 Comments

Chickpea and Artichoke Salad has protein, tons of flavour and is a quick dinner you can have ready in minutes. Canned artichoke hearts in oil are a great investment using the marinated artichoke oil as the dressing for this salad.

A full Pantry is a happy Pantry

Keep your pantry stocked with a few basics like canned beans, lentils, chickpeas, stock and tomatoes. With just a few pantry items you can pull together a meal in no time. Chickpeas contain vitamins including iron, minerals, fiber, calcium and essential to our bodies, protein. Ensure when you buy your chickpeas they come with only three ingredients or less; chickpeas, water, salt. It’s all the other additives that can cause gas.

With a pantry full of basics, quick meals are never far away. Use chickpeas in stews, chili, roast them with a little spice (my favourite snack) as we did in this Ras el Hanout Roasted Cauliflower with Chick Peas, add to curries, hummus like our Roasted Jalapeno Hummus or dips, soups and salads. Try adding fresh herbs, cooked bacon or pancetta if you eat meat, goat or feta cheese to change this salad up and make it your own.

Since chickpeas are so versatile and one of our favourite pantry items, we are sharing a link to 15 things you can do with canned chickpeas offering more ideas on how to use them to help you get inspired!

This salad keeps in the refrigerator for a couple of days. Works well for lunches or picnics. Even a potluck or Barbecue.

Pro Tips:

  • Make this salad on a Sunday and you have lunches for the week.
  • Buy artichokes in oil, they tend to be healthy and very flavourful
