Homemade hummus with roasted red pepper. Inspired by Sabra hummus which we always have in our fridge. I decided to recreate it at home and it came out so good. You can find most of the ingridents in your pantry. Be sure to tag me if you try this recipe, I’d love to see what you guys come up with. #cookitkelly_ @cookitkelly_
Ingredients
3 Fresno red peppers
1 Serrano
1 Can of garbanzo beans
1/2 can of cannelloni beans
Salt and pepper
EVOO
Juice from 1 lemon
3 Garlic cloves
Directions
Roast the peppers and garlic until they are charred. I used the grill but you can roast them in oven as well.
Open your cans of garbanzo and cannelloni beans. Make sure you rinse them.
Grab your food processor and throw in the both beans, roasted garlic , salt, pepper, and olive oil. I usually free hand the olive oil. You want the consistency to be very smooth.
Peppers should be done by this time. Add to food processor (make sure you rinse the food processor to get the residue from the beans out).
Put hummus in a bowl and top it off with the roasted red pepper mix.
Enjoy with carrots & celery or your favorite chips.
Working in restaurants, I always meet a lot of coworkers from other cultures. Many of those workers are from Hispanic decent and being from Columbian myself, it allowed me the opportunity to learn the foods of many other Hispanic cultures. They would often make food for themselves and offer me some which is so amazing! They make some of the most unique salsas. From New York to Colorado kitchens, they always had something in common and that commonality was their salsas. It went with whatever they were eating, from tacos to rice and beans or just a dipping sauce. Some were spicier then others (which is always my favorite kind). I would try to make them at home but they never came out the same, until I finally started to ask questions and came up with my own version thanks to all the people in the back of house!

Ingridents
Salsa Roja
4 Large red tomatoes
2 Jalapeños
1/2 Yellow onion
Cilantro
Salt and Pepper
EVOO
Salsa Verde
4 Tomatillos (green tomatoes)
2 Jalapeños
1/2 Yellow onion
2 cloves garlic
Cilantro
Salt & Pepper
EVOO
Directions
Preheat oven to 350F (177 C). Use two sheet pans.
Cut the Tomatoes in 4’s. Onions and jalapeños into smaller pieces (doesn’t have to be exact sizes its all going in a blender afterwards).
Be sure to keep them separated. You are making TWO salsas. Or one if your only into one or the other.
Cover all the veggies in Extra Virgin Olive Oil, salt, & pepper.
Roast in oven for about 20-25mins. Be sure to keep an eye on them. You want them to be slightly charred.
Once ready, take them out and set aside. Let them all cool off for a few mins.
Start off with the salsa VERDE ingredients and add to a food processor or blender. Add in a hand full of cilantro ( this is really your preference on how much. If you don’t like cilantro at all skip it and add a different herb like parsley. This will definitely change the flavor). Add in some lukewarm water and blend away. Use a jar to pour it in.
Repeat with the Salsa ROJA same process.
Enjoy right away or you can store it in your fridge for a few days. Definitely MAKE sure its completely cool down before you put it in your fridge.
If you don’t feel like roasting any of it, you can just boil or even grill everything instead. The flavor will be similar, except you won’t get the char flavor. Both ways are super easy to make.
Make balls with your goat cheese depending on what size you want. I suggest no bigger than a golf ball (easier to fry).
Once made into balls - put them over parchment paper and throw them in the freezer for about 20mins.
In that time beat your egg in one bowl, in two other bowls add in flour in one and bread crumbs in other
If you have a small fryer turn it on. If no fryer use a deeper pan and add in your choice of oil. Turn on stove to Medium (maybe even a little lower) you don’t want the oil to get TOO hot too fast and start splashing on you.
Take out balls of goat cheese out of freezer and start dipping them.
1st in the flour, egg second and finally the bread crumbs.
Once you know your oil is hot - start throwing them in. One by one very slowly. Turn them over after 3-4 mins you want them to look nice and brown. When you take them out place over paper bag and paper towel so it will absorb the oil. Let them rest for a few minutes but don’t let them get cold.
While they rest grab your plate, drizzale as much or little honey as you’ll like. Sprinkle chili flakes & Italian season . Place fried ball of deliciousness goat cheese over honey. Enjoy with your favorite crackers!
I’ve been wanting to make this for so long now and finally doing it. As I’m setting up this blog, I am learning so much. I have no idea what I’m doing but excited to learn and get this page going. If you follow my IG page @cookitkelly_ you already know how much I love to cook. This platform will give me more of an opportunity to make my recipes and more. I would love any feedback you may have!
