CILANTRO-JALAPENO HUMMUS AND TABOULI (A LA PITA JUNGLE)



Cilantro-Jalapeno Hummus and Tabouli (A La Pita Jungle) image

I'm addicted to this dish at a local pita chain and had to re-create it at home. The flavor combinations are out of this world; every bit is sheer heaven, I'm not even kidding! My taste buds have never experienced such excitement. This is a vegetarian recipe that will please non-vegetarians (my husband and I are both meat eaters). Pita Jungle uses bulgur in their tabouli (which is traditional) but I use quinoa in mine, to boost the protein a little, and I can't tell the difference in flavor. Prep time includes the recommended 24-hour "marinate" time for the tabouli. The hummus recipe is a variation of my Recipe #436722.

YUMMY CILANTRO-JALAPENO HUMMUS



Yummy Cilantro-Jalapeno Hummus image

If you love cilantro, you will love this hummus! I usually adjust the cilantro and lemon juice for flavor after mixing. Be sure to wear gloves while preparing the jalapeno; the oil will stay on your skin for a long time and will burn your eyes if you wear contacts. (I found out the hard way!) The hummus can be made up to 3 days ahead and refrigerated. Return to room temperature before serving with crackers or pita bread.

JALAPENO & ROASTED RED PEPPER HUMMUS



Jalapeno & Roasted Red Pepper Hummus image

Another nice hummus recipe that makes use of my garden's peppers by way of The Wichita Eagle who got it from the North American Olive Oil Association. This one is a little lighter on the lemon & tahini - adjust to your taste of course. Use a potato masher to crush the garbanzos if you do not have food processor or blender - did it that way myself for years & now I prefer a chunkier hummus to the ultra-smooth, go figure. Serve with baked pita bread or pita chips or stuff into tomatoes (big cherries piped with smooth spicy hummus are great heavy hors d'oeuvres).

ROASTED GARLIC CILANTRO JALAPENO HUMMUS



Roasted Garlic Cilantro Jalapeno Hummus image

I especially loved the roasted garlic and cilantro in this hummus. It's definitely not your traditional hummus! The flavors pack a punch and make you want to go back for more (and more) ...

Provided by Jodie Scales

Categories     Vegetable Appetizers

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 can(s) chickpeas/garbanzo beans (15 oz)
1 large garlic bulb (about 8 to 10 cloves or more)
1/4 c olive oil
1/2 bunch cilantro, fresh (washed and cut up)
1 large jalapeno pepper cut up (fresh or from a jar)
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/2 Tbsp lemon juice (1 teaspoon and a half)

Steps:

  • 1. Get your garlic ready. Set oven to 375. Peel and separate the garlic cloves and make a bowl out of foil. Place the cloves in the foil bowl and cover with the olive oil. Close the bowl up around the garlic till just a pinch is open on top. Put on/in a oven safe pan and roast for 35 to 45 minutes.
  • 2. When garlic is done take it out to cool while you prepare the other ingredients. In a food processor or blender put your chickpeas (drained but leave a little water 1/8 cup), lemon, salt, and jalapeno. Blend until most is chopped. Add the garlic along with the oil in the foil and blend until smooth. Now add your cilantro and blend until it is a pretty green color. You can serve it warm or cold with veggies for dipping or on bread.

JALAPENO AND LIME HUMMUS



Jalapeno and Lime Hummus image

With store bought hummus, the quantity is small and prices are high... plus I like to be able to control the ingredients, so I adapted this recipe from ingredient labels. Please note that I use Bertolli Extra Light "Tasting" olive oil for the mild flavor. This hummus will taste significately different if you use Extra Virgin Olive Oil and I don't recommend it... unless you like the strong taste. If you don't have a Kitchen Aide Garlic Press, I highly recommend one... I bought mine at Fry's Electronics... it is easy to use and clean. This Jalapeno and Lime Hummus is great as a dip, on pita or as a sandwich spread.

JALAPENO HUMMUS BREAD



Jalapeno Hummus Bread image

This quick bread is moist with the flavors of spicy garlic hummus. Could also be made as muffins, but I don't know how many it would make or the cooking time. The spiciness can also be adjusted by using more or less jalapeno. Serve instead of corn bread.

Provided by Chef Jean

Categories     Quick Breads

Time 54m

Yield 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (15 1/2 ounce) can garbanzo beans
1 teaspoon garlic, chopped
1 jalapeno, fresh, seeded and diced
1/4 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons dried onion, minced
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
2 cups self-rising flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 eggs
2/3 cup milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a loaf pan and set it aside.
  • Place all the ingredients for the hummus in a food processor and puree until mostly smooth. It will still have a few small lumps of beans and will be drier than a hummus dip.
  • In a large bowl mix together the flour, salt and garlic powder.
  • Mix the remaining bread ingredients in a separate bowl then add to the dry. Stir once or twice then add the hummus to the mixture. Mix until combined and pour into the pan.
  • Bake for 40mins. It should be golden brown on top and a knife inserted in the center should come out clean. Let cool for at least 10 minutes before removing from pan.

ROASTED JALAPENO HUMMUS



ROASTED JALAPENO HUMMUS image

Categories     Condiment/Spread     Appetizer     No-Cook     Quick & Easy

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 11

1-3 (or more, if you dare!) jalapenos
2 cups cooked chickpeas or 1 (15-ounce) can chickpeas
3-4 tablespoons lime juice
2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons tahini (or substitute extra-virgin olive oil)
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon coriander
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoons minced cilantro (optional)
Pita wedges or tortilla chips for serving

Steps:

  • 1. Roast the jalapenos under the broiler, or on the stovetop or grill. Flip every few minutes until the peppers are charred all over. Move them to a heat-proof bowl and cover with plastic wrap for about 10 minutes. 2. When the peppers are cool enough to handle, slip off the skin, split the peppers, and strip out the seeds. Slice the jalapenos into thin strips and set aside. Take care while working with these peppers because the jalapeno oils can really burn if you rub your eyes or touch your mouth. Wear gloves if desired. 3. Warm the chickpeas in the microwave for about a minute (this helps make the hummus creamier). Pour them them into the bowl of a food processor along with 3 tablespoons of lime juice, garlic, tahini and spices. Begin processing and stream in the olive oil through the top of the machine. Scrape down and process again until the hummus is very smooth. 4. Transfer to a serving bowl and stir in the sliced jalapenos. Taste and add more jalapenos, more lime juice or more seasonings to taste. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes before serving. (This hummus can also be made several days ahead.) Garnish with minced cilantro and serve with pita wedges or tortilla chips.
