Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

Hummus:

1 lb. sweet Potatoes

1 large Lemon -- juiced

1 tsp. Cumin seeds

1 tsp. Salt

1/4 tsp. Cayenne pepper

1/8 tsp. Black pepper

1 Tbsp. Tahini

1 Tbsp. Olive oil

3 tsp. brown sugar

Zest of 1 Orange

Candied Peppers:

1/4 Poblano pepper

1 red Chili

1/4 cup sugar

2/3 cup water

salt to taste

Plate Presentation:

1 tsp. crumbled Feta cheese

1 tsp. toasted pistachios

 

Hummus:

Bake or microwave sweet potatoes until fully cooked, allow the

potatoes cool, then remove and discard the skins.

Toast cumin seeds on low heat, then crush by hand before adding to the

food processor. Seeds can be crushed by using a mortar and pestle or

by smashing between a saucepan and cutting board.

Place the remaining ingredients into the processor and blend until

smooth and creamy.

When hummus is finished mixing, you may want to add more salt or sugar

depending on the sweetness of the potatoes.

 

Candied Peppers:

Clean ribs and seeds from the peppers. Use a sharp knife to cut

peppers into 1/8 inch thick slices. Place peppers in the sugar water

and simmer on medium heat until liquid becomes syrupy. If you don't

want to handle red chilis, substitute a red bell pepper and a teaspoon

of chili flakes.

 

Plate Presentation:

Serve hummus with toasted pita or bagel chips. Scoop hummus onto

decorative plate, then place candied chilis in the center of the

hummus. Sprinkle with feta and toasted pistachios.
