iesikaI'm getting ready to head up to the camp for the weekend for a family reunion (unlike most people, I very much look forward to mine. At least one of my male cousins is going to be wearing a dress, tomorrow. With sequins. And feathers). I've got T here at mom's house (she and Macie are BFFs and are currently chasing each other in circles in the dining room, and I'm doing some last minute stuff before I drop her at a friend's house and Macie at the boarder's (her knee is acting up, and she would exhaust herself if she came with us this weekend).
The real reason for this post is recipe sharing/documentation, because I have invented something delicious and it is in progress right now. See, I caught part of Iron Chef: Battle Zucchini the other day, and I LOVE zucchini and have stolen lots of inspiration from the show. What is currently in progress is my take on zucchini hummus, and the test batch I made Monday disappeared in about half an hour because it was SO GOOD. So:
Zucchini Hummus
2 cans chickpeas, rinsed and drained
3-4 zucchini
1 poblano pepper
garlic to taste
lemon juice
- slice the zucchini into rounds and stick that and the pepper under the broiler until the zucchini is bright and steamy and the pepper starts to blister. You'll want to turn the pepper so it will blister on both sides.
- open up the pepper and take out the seeds.
- dump everything into the food processor and blend. Add some water if you need to thin it out - I would guess I used about four ounces, but that's going to vary based on how much zucchini you use, since that's where most of your moisture comes from.
Om nom with pita chips or whatever you like. Or make sandwiches. I love hummus sandwiches
