Written by Rocky Mountain Woman on April 26, 2013 – 6:16 am -

This is such a simple classic recipe, but one I make a lot. It’s a great tv snack or with a glass of wine and some pita chips, dinner sometimes!

Ingredient List:

1 can garbanzo beans
4 T fresh lemon juice
2 T tahini
1 t salt
1 T olive oil – optional
1 clove garlic
pepper from the mill to taste

So, see if you can follow me here, this is REALLY REALLY REALLY hard

put all the ingredients in a food processor, and process until smooth.

garnish with a few grinds of pepper and serve!

easy peasy….

Ingredient list:

1 or 2 fresh jalapenos
3 garlic cloves
1 15 ounce can fire roasted tomatoes
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 T fresh lime juice

In a skillet, roast the jalapeno(s) and garlic, turning frequently until blotchy and brown – about 10 to 15 minutes

Cool until you can handle, then peel and roughly chop. Place in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add the tomatoes and pulse until coarsely pureed

stir in the cilantro, lime juice and salt to taste

yum!
