Inspired by Kiwi Kathy's yummy Hummus my sis came up with this rather delicious twist on hummus. Its a great dip for crudites or crackers. Ingredients:
1/2 cup chickpeas (cooked) |
1/4 cup applesauce |
1/8 cup olive oil |
1/8 cup water (more or less) |
1 1/2 tablespoons tahini (sesame paste) |
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/8 teaspoon onion powder |
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
1/8 teaspoon chili powder |
1/8 teaspoon ground cumin |
1 pinch ground coriander |
1 red bell pepper, chopped (can use other colours, too) |
50 g cheddar cheese, grated |
Directions:
1. First make your hummus: Combine chickpeas, applesauce, oil, water, tahini and spices in a tall bowl. Using a hand-held blender whizz into a smooth paste. It may be runnier than normal hummus, but that will change during baking, so just leave it like that (You can also use your food processor for this).
2. Pour the hummus into a small oven proof dish. Sprinkle with the chopped bell pepper and cheese.
3. Bake in the preheated oven at 180°C/350°F for 15-20 minutes.
4. Enjoy! :).
