I joined a new group, kinda trial run this month, called the Improv Cooking Challenge. It sounded like fun.
Basically you are given two ingredients to make a dish from and post about it on a certain date, which this month happens to be today, the third Thursday of the month.
The ingredients for October were Carrots and Curry.
I'm not late, am I?
Well, at any rate, when I saw the two ingredients my mind went, hmmm, I wonder how they would work in a Hummus.
They worked, very well. Got along just fine, invited a couple more ingredients to join them that I wouldn't have thought of adding and well, I got a great new Hummus.
And I did it all by myself.
I have to admit to an oops here. I thought I'd opened a can of Chickpeas, but discovered after opening it, that it was Navy Beans, but decided to use them anyway. And guess what, they were so good.
You can definitely up the amount of curry powder here, I will the next time I make it, cause I love, love, love Curry.
I wonder how this would work for Halloween? I decided to do a trial run, and put some of the Hummus into a Orange Pepper, and it was good. Best of all, the bowl was edible.
I'm ready for Halloween now.

Oh Yummy! I've never met a hummus I didn't like -- I've even used kidney beans. :) (Although, my fellas would want me to add a clove of garlic or five... :D )
ReplyDeleteThere are so many different variations of Hummus and they're all good. I've still got some of the Carrot Hummus left and I'll try adding some garlic to it. Garlic is good food.
DeleteGreat creation Sid....I'll bet it was yummy.
ReplyDeleteThanks Wendy, I had fun with this month's 'challenge'. And it was good.
