An easy peasy hummus recipe. Nuff said.

Ingredients

• 2 cups canned garbanzo beans, drained (of course dumbass)
• 1/3 cup tahini paste (W00t whole foods!)
• 1/4 cup lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 cloves garlic, halved

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tbsp diced roasted red bell peppers
• 1/4 tsp paprika
• 1-2 tbsp toasted pine nuts
• 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, plucked fresh from your garden, then minced

Directions

1. Place the garbanzo beans, tahini, lemon juice, salt and garlic in a blender or food processor. Pulse until mostly broken up. Scrape with a rubber spatla, pulse a few times. I like my hummus with some texture left so the idea is to blend as will as possible without over doing it. Transfer mixture to a serving bowl. Despite the picture, shallow is good.
2. Drizzle olive oil over the garbanzo bean mixture. Add diced roasted bell peppers. Sprinkle with paprika, toasted pine nuts and parsley.

What to do with a couple of slabs of pork when your sick of the old rosemary “blend” rub? Well here goes. Picture to be posted later.

Ingredients

• 2 Pork Tenderloins (about 2.5 lbs total)
• 1 cup plain (greek) yogurt
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 2 tsp ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 4 garlic cloves, minced or grated
• 1 lemon, juice of
• 6 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup grated onion

Directions

1. Prepare all the marinade ingredients in a non reactive container. Like a stainless bowl…or maybe a marble challis. Whatever you have.
2. Split your two tenderloins so that you have 4 strips and cube by slicing in 1/2 inch increments.
3. Drop the pork in the bowl and stir until all the bits are covered with marinadey goodness.
4. Wait with high anticipation for at least 4 hours while your mixture congeals. Overnight is best but who plans that far in advance. I mean really!
5. Pull your mixture from the fridge and gaze in wonder at what used to be boring old pork, which has now become a magical food with many healing properties, mostly it cures hunger.
