Vote for my Recipe!

May 31, 2011 by Alison

It’s your turn to post your comments as a “vote” for my recipe! Do so quickly since the first 500 people to comment will receive a sample of dry pea and lentils for free.

I hope you’ve enjoyed my recipes for the Dry Pea and Lentil Council Recipe Contest. This posting concludes the recipe contest. And since we’re in the midst of a warm spell here in NJ, I’m going to repost my Southwestern Chickpea Dip.
So hurry up, post a comment (anything you’d like to say) and then shoot an e-mail to: peasnlentils@edelman.com with your name and address. (Your personal information will not be used by the Dry Pea and Lentil Council or provided by any outside vendors.)

Southwestern Chickpea Dip
Makes 2 cups

This flavorful dip made with chickpeas is a nice variation on traditional hummus. The spicy and tangy taste makes it a perfect appetizer before a southwestern meal. Serve it with tortilla chips or veggies.
2 cups chick peas
2 garlic cloves minced
½ cup cilantro, washed and chopped
Juice from 2 limes
1 chipotle pepper
¼ cup canola oil
1 teaspoon salt
4 teaspoons water

In a food processor or blender fitted with a steel blade, puree all of the ingredients until smooth. Gradually add a few teaspoons of water as you puree and stop to scrape the bowl a few times. This process should take up to five minutes to get a really smooth consistency.

    Being half Armenian, I grew up on Lentils, Chick Peas, Hummus, etc., but I tend to be “traditional” in their use. I have branched out in other areas so much in terms of flavor profiles, etc., it’s about time I did the same with these things. This southwestern version sounds like a great place to start! Thanks for posting. 🙂 I just recently made my first Paklava that was NOT traditional, so I’m getting there… 😉

I spent countless hours chopping, sautéing and simmering my way through childhood. And now, with three kids of my own, I’m still chopping, but this time through their childhood and often with friends.
