Recipe: Rainy-Day Hummus

Rainy-Day Hummus

(Loosely adapted from Joy of Cooking)

1 can chickpeas, drained
Roughly 1/3 cup white wine vinegar
Roughly 1/3 cup water
1 tablespoon extra-chunky peanut butter
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon peanut oil
2 cloves pre-minced garlic (1 teaspoon)
¼ medium onion
Several pinches salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
Pinch paprika

Process all but olive oil and paprika in food processor until semi-smooth. Use as much water as necessary to thin out paste to make more malleable. Drizzle with olive oil, dust with paprika.

Notes:

-Salt, salt, salt. Seriously, taste as you go, it’ll be several big pinches of salt for these.

-Process is a funny verb to use. So industrial!

Tasting Notes:

-a little bland. Should have used lemon juice rather than vinegar. Also, should have used tahini rather than faking it with peanut butter. But, screw it, it was a lunch.
