This is a recipe I made as I opened the wrong can from my pantry. I thought I was opening chick peas for hummus, but I opened Lentils, as it turns out I didn't actually have any chick peas anyway... I have to say it is one of the best mistakes I've made in the kitchen:) Ingredients:
1 (19 ounce) can lentils |
1 teaspoon cumin |
1 teaspoon more if you like curry powder |
1 teaspoon ginger powder |
1 dash cayenne |
2 -3 pickled jalapeno peppers, pieces to taste |
jalapeno pickle juice |
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil |
3 crushed garlic cloves |
salt |
pepper |
juice of one lime |
lime zest |
Directions:
1. Put all ingredients in a blender of food processor and mix till very smooth, you may need to add a tablespoon of water or two. Be patient, mix it and continue to blend til very smooth.
2. I put some of this mixture on the bottom of a small oven safe dish, covered with 1 cup or more of a variety of white cheeses and baked under the broiler for 4 minutes, served with pita wedges - soooo good!
