Today I decided that I was going to try to make some humus as I am always looking for something to dip veggies in and figured that would be better than my standard go to of french onion dip. I grabbed the can of chick peas from the cabinet and looked around for other goodies to add some flavor to this generally bland bean. Here is what I came up with and I must admit it is quite tasty.
Avacado Curry Humus
1 can chick peas drained well
1 ripe avocado
3-4 cloves garlic depending on your love for garlic (I used more)
1/2 small onion
1/2 small pepper
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons curry
salt and pepper to taste
I combined all ingredients in my food processor and set it to pulse, scrapping
down the sides every few pulses to make sure every pea was getting chopped.
Mine seemed to need a little more liquid to bind it so I simply added a squeeze
more lemon juice.
I think that if one wanted to they could substitute the onion and pepper and lemon juice for a few tablespoons of salsa and it would have been just as good. Maybe next time I will try this and throw in some fresh cilantro from my herb boxes.
For those who do not know what curry tastes like I would describe it as a powdered form of Worcestershire sauce. It is very yummy and worth adding to many recipes..
