10) Recommend anything to us.
Making your own hummus. I did it for the first time recently and now I'm hooked. So much better than store bought and cheaper too.
My recipe (I don't measure things):
Garbanzo beans (chick peas). If they're canned make sure you warm them first. If they're cold you won't get a smooth texture.
Tahini sauce
Jalapenos from a jar. Use some of the liquid as well.
Fresh garlic, pressed.
Cilantro
Olive oil
Blend together. So easy and delicious.
I want to experiment with a dessert version. I'm thinking the garbanzos with peanut butter instead of tahini and cocoa powder and chocolate chips in place of the other stuff. It can't be bad. It would make a nice fruit dip.
