"A Taste of Yellow" will be returning in the near future...

Last night saw a small, but enthusiastic group of LIVESTRONGers! Given that there were more people that wanted to attend, but couldn't make a weekday, I think we'll give it another go on a weekend! But, we enjoyed a lovely spread!

Curry-laced chummus with "Taste of Yellow" Peppers

Since this seems to be THE asked about recipe, here it is...

Ingredients:

• 2 cans of Garbanzo beans (yes, I used canned - I am notorious for either burning, undercooking or fermenting dried)
• 3 tablespoons of sesame paste (tahini) (to taste)
  
• 1/4-1/2 cup of olive oil
• 1/4 cup of lemon juice (to taste)
• 1/2 teaspoon of cumin
• 1/4 cup of cilantro
• 3-6 cloves of garlic (to taste)
• 1 teaspoon of Za'atar
• Salt & pepper to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon of curry powder (or, if available, 1/8 teaspoon curry powder and half a handful of fresh curry leaves)

Add the drained beans, tahini, garlic and lemon juice into a food processor and turn on. Once smoothing out, slowly add the olive oil and spices. Stop processing and taste. Re-adjust seasoning to taste (all depends on the brand of the garbanzo beans and strength of the tahini). Once to taste, and completely smooth, pour into a bowl. Take a fork and create "grooves". Drizzle with a bit of olive oil and sprinkle with curry powder.
