Some friends came over for dinner tonight. On the menu, apart from the seitan bolognese (main course), and the decadent chocolate cake (that was, obviously, the dessert), I served some hummus with toasted pitas as an appetizer. I came across an unsual hummus recipe on Rose Elliot’s Vegetarian Supercook, and I was looking forward to trying it. Today was the day I finally gave it a try, and honestly I regret I haven’t done it before. I’ve a made a couple tweaks to the original recipe though, and my version includes ground cumin and lemon juice, as those are the ingredients I always use when making this particular entrée. Please note that this Hummus Rojo tastes really differently from the traditional fair: the roasted peppers are the main, dominant flavor in here, and their natural sweetness is complemented by the addition of a little something of agave nectar. On the same hand, the chickpeas mainly contribute for texture and creaminess, but their taste isn’t as present as it is in regular hummus. We all enjoyed this very much, specially along with freshly grilled pita bread. If you’re curious, give the recipe a try: I know hummus is one of those things you actually don’t need another recipe for, but this is one is quite distinct and delicious on its own right. Wish you all a great weekend ; )
