I have really been passionate about finding healthy whole food recipes. If it is gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, or raw I am very interested in trying it. Although, it does need to still taste good ;)
My hubby & I do our grocery shopping bi-weekly, so I used this cookbook to meal plan for 2 weeks & I feel healthier already!
This is one of the things I made with this cookbook:
Roasted Red Pepper Hummus
This was my first time roasting my own peppers. It is super easy & you don't have to worry about preservatives or any other added ingredients. I adjusted this recipe a little.
Roasted Red Pepper Hummus
3 red bell peppers
2 cups of garbanzo beans (I used the dried ones & then cooked them with water in my crockpot for 3 hours)
whole wheat pita, toasted
1 garlic clove
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp cumin
1 cup of vegetable broth
1 TBS balsamic vinegar
1 TBS fresh lemon juice
2 tsp grapeseed oil, plus more for drizzling
salt & pepper to taste
Wash peppers & place them in a
rimmed pan & drizzle oil over top. Place in a 400 degree oven &
roast until blackened all over. Turning when needed. Take out of the
oven &
transfer peppers to a
bowl with a lid & let sit & steam for 15 min. Using paper towel,
rub off skins, & then remove stems, seeds & ribs.
Place peppers in food processor. Add beans, garlic, vinegar, oil, lemon juice, paprika, cumin. Blend. Stir in salt & pepper.
Serve with toasted whole wheat pita or carrot sticks.
