Need an extra side dish for that party with your “quarantine bubble of friends?” This is the one for you. I sort of meshed different regional cuisines together in this recipe because I love it all! The veggies and toppings I suggest in the recipe are only suggestions. You can choose whichever crudité you’d like or serve them with crackers and/or toasted pita chips. 

  • Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

Scale

215 oz cans of garbanzo beans, drained (save aquafaba liquid for other use)

2 poblanos

1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, hydrated in water for 10 minutes

4 garlic cloves

1 bunch fresh cilantro

3 tsp ground cumin

Juice of 1 large lemon

2 tbsp tahini paste

1 tsp kosher salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

1/4 cup olive oil

For Lovely Toppings and Crudité

Fresh corn kernels cut from the cob

Sliced beets

Baby carrots

Sliced nectarines

Sliced cherry tomatoes

Sliced blueberries

Fresh green onions

Pumpkin seeds or pine nuts

Hemp Hearts

Instructions

Heat the oven to broil. If you have a gas stovetop, you can char the poblanos over an open flame. Roast poblanos for 8-10 minutes on each side or until they are nice and charred. Remove from heat and let cool. 

In a food processor, add the chickpeas, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic cloves, cilantro, cumin, lemon juice, tahini paste, salt, and pepper. Lock the lid and begin processing. As the chickpeas break down, slowly add the olive oil through the top shoot of the food processor. Blend for a few minutes or until the hummus is creamy and smooth. Remove the lid and add the poblano peppers (stems removed first). Place the lid back on and process until the peppers are fully incorporated into the hummus.

To Plate

Choose a large platter to serve the Harvest Hummus. Carefully spoon the hummus onto the platter in a creative way, using the spoon to smooth it around the dish. Arrange the toppings around the side of the hummus, then drizzle with a bit of olive oil and sprinkle with seeds and hemp hearts. 

Notes

*If you’d like to make an oil-free version, you can omit the tahini. Instead of adding olive oil in a stream as you process the hummus, add 1/4 cup of water.
