Рецепт Jalapeno-Cilantro Hummus
For the past few weeks, my son and I have been somewhat addicted to the Power Chicken Hummus Bowls at Panera. The hummus they serve in it is jalapeno cilantro flavored and it's so good.
Since making hummus is one the simplest things you can make with your food processor, I figured why not try and recreate those flavors at home? I used my standard homemade hummus recipe with a few tweaks...and am really happy with the delicious outcome!
Hummus is a great healthy and lower calorie alternative for snacking. Serve it up with some raw veggies and pita chips, or use it in a wrap or as a sandwich spread or even as a salad dressing! (Like in Panera's Power bowls!)
I found one jalapeno in this recipe was plenty of heat for us. Since jalapenos vary in the degree of heat they have, you might need more or less depending on your jalapeno. Just adjust the amount to your liking.
My son said my version is just as good as Panera's version! Score!!
Jalapeno-Cilantro Hummus
- Servings - approx. 16 (recipe yields about 1 quart of hummus) Serving size - 1/4 cup Points Plus per serving - 3 Points+
- Calories - 103.9, Total Fat - 6g, Carb. - 11.7g, Protein - 4.5g, Fiber - 4.2g
- Ingredients:
- 2 - 15oz. cans of chickpeas (garbanzo beans), rinsed and drained
- 2/3 cup tahini
- 2 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
- juice of half a lemon
- 1 tsp. kosher salt
- 1/2 cup cilantro leaves and stems
- 1 large jalapeno, ribs and seeds removed (or leave them in for more heat), roughly chopped
- water
Directions:
Combine all ingredients except water in food processor.
Process until a smooth thick paste. Add in enough water, while it's
running through the top, until it is smooth with a spreading consistency. ( I think I may have used about 1/3 cup...but put in as
much or as little as you desire for the consistency you like) Garnish with some extra virgin olive oil. (not
included in the nutrition info above) Serve with pita, pita chips, crackers or assorted raw
vegetable dippers. It may taste a bit garlicky at first, but as the
hummus sits the garlic flavor mellows.
Store any leftovers covered in refrigerator.

This was really good. I can see this making a regular appearance in my house. I might even try my hand at recreating the actual Panera Chicken Hummus Bowl at home now!
Coming up later this week...I've got a real treat for you! Myself and three other awesome bloggers have been working on a Valentine's Day Menu. Each of us is responsible for a different coarse in the menu...and you will be able to visit all the blogs via links to the various recipes. It will be fun!! You will have to come back on Friday to see what coarse I am responsible for. I've already got my recipe done...and it's a good one too!!!
