CREAMY HUMMUS
CREAMY HUMMUS
2 cans garbanzo beans, drained, rinsed, and drained again
1 clove garlic, finely minced
3/4 cup tahini
1/2-3/4 cup water
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons lemon juice
Salt to taste (This will depend on personal taste, as well as what brand of chickpeas you use. I used Goya, and ended up adding 1 teaspoon.)
Combine ingredients, except for salt, in a food processor, beginning with the lesser amount of water. Process until super smooth and creamy, adding more water if it's too thick. Taste and season with salt. Garnish with extra virgin olive oil, toasted pine nuts, and/or paprika.

Peas with Beacon
Peas with bacon
October 28, 2008 — 101things
peas with bacon
A simple side dish that takes 5 minutes to make, to be served with pretty much anything you like, because bacon goes really well with peas.
Ingredients
Peas, frozen or fresh
Cubed/chopped bacon or pancetta, about 1/3 of the amount of peas
1/2 an onion, chopped finely
Chicken stock
The Cooking
Ok, in a non-stick pan fry the bacon to whatever consistency you like it. Just cooked or nice and crispy, up to you. Once it’s as you like it, add the chopped onion and fry until soft but not coloured (about 2 minutes), then throw in the peas, give it a stir and pour in just enough chicken stock to moisten the whole thing. Cook for a couple of minutes and you’re done! This is excellent with a nice Sunday roast.
