This One Pot Creamy Hummus Pasta takes only a few simple ingredients, one pot, and 20 minutes to prepare! The instant silky sauce is so satisfying and full of flavor, you’ll have a hard time believing you whipped it up yourself. As someone who must, at all times, have a gargantuan tub of hummus within…
Easy Ultra-Smooth Hummus
This hummus recipe breaks out all of the tricks for a delicious, almost impossibly smooth and creamy dip (without the hassle of soaking the chickpeas overnight or– even worse– peeling the skins one by one)! Not only is the hummus easy to make, but it also tastes significantly better than the store-bought stuff. There was…
5-Minute Garlicky Tahini Sauce
5 Minute Garlicky Tahini Sauce is a traditional Middle Eastern sesame seed based sauce that’s tangy, nutty, creamy, and silky smooth without any help from dairy. The secret that makes this recipe the best (and easiest)? Blending a whole, unpeeled head of garlic with fresh lemon juice. It sounds weird, but if you read on…
Hummus Fries with Spicy Tahini Dip
Hummus Fries with Spicy Tahini Dip. These fritters are made with chickpea flour and tahini for a crisp-exteriored snack with a custardy, hummus-like center. This recipe for Hummus Fries with Spicy Tahini Dip has also been featured on Serious Eats. The scribbled words “PANISSES – TECHNICALLY FRENCH FRIES” caught my eye at the food truck festival last…
Mezze Party Platter
I almost flipped the whole damn table over on Friday night. James suggested that we do a date-night dinner this past weekend at our favorite little Turkish hole-in-the-wall and I was all about it. Partially because I am absolutely obsessed with the food there– the creamy hummus, the crispy falafel, the warm pita bread, the butter-soft grilled meats, the…
How To Make The Ultimate Autumn Harvest Cheese Board
I’m not sure if I’ve ever gone on record with this admission before, and I’m a little nervous to let the secret slip. But here goes: I could take or leave Thanksgiving food. There, I said it. Now, don’t get me wrong. I love fall flavors. Carbs are my closest pals. Turkey and I are tight…
Smoky Chipotle Pumpkin Hummus
This might sound strange coming from the girl who just posted a recipe for Loaded Pizza Nachos (and spent the entirety of the post passionately declaring her love for cheese-covered triangles), but my favorite food to make is actually healthy food. Wait, let me rephrase that. My favorite is the kind that’s flavorful, comforting, and healthy. No, make that flavorful,…
Whipped Feta Tzatziki Hummus
There was a time, rather recently actually, when I swore my allegiance to a particular hummus recipe. I made some pretty bold proclamations to friends and family, like: “You could fly to the Middle East and try every centuries-old recipe from every beloved grandmother and every frequented street vendor and still never find hummus this perfect.”…
Michael Solomonov’s Perfect Hummus Tehina
Put that Sabra back on the shelf because you are never going to buy prepackaged hummus again. I won’t even be sensitive with my assumptions here. You’re going to love this, for the same reasons that it’s been heralded as the best hummus on the east coast, been named Bon Appétit’s 2015 Best Dish of The…
Jalapeno Pinto Bean “Hummus”
If you asked me to describe hummus, I’d tell you that it was a creamy dip made mainly of chickpeas and tahini. Yet here I am, calling this pinto bean and jalapeno-packed dip by that name, even though it has neither chickpeas nor tahini in it. What gives? Well, flavor and texture-wise, Jalapeno Pinto Bean…
Cucumber-Wrapped, Feta-Stuffed Meatballs
Please do not ask me to detail what I have eaten in the past couple of weeks. The holidays have turned me into a walking garbage disposal for all things fried, fatty, or fudgy, and just trying to remember exactly what that entails gives me a bit of a stomach ache. I’m not saying that…
Baba Ghanoush (Roasted Eggplant Dip)
A few weeks ago, in the Spinach and Ricotta Stuffed Chicken Piccata post, I mentioned that James and I went on a trip to DC because he won an online poker tournament. What I didn’t have a chance to mention mention is that while we were down there, we had dinner at a Mediterranean restaurant called…
Hummus Crusted Chicken
If you’re one of the people who realized off the bat that this is a healthy recipe and said, “No way; That’s just not for me,” I have to advise you to reconsider. One, this tastes great. Two, it’s quick to put together. Three, it’s easy to put together. Four, a fourth point shouldn’t be…
