My friend Lori published a great little cook book—a really yummy, real food, not rocket science to make dishes and quick meal cook book. She gave me a copy when we were back visiting over the holidays. I absolutely love it and can’t wait to cook my way through it. I made this recipe thus afternoon and just had to post it! It is delish. Ford and I were eating it by the spoonful and hud loved dipping tortilla chips in it. I took out the jalapeno, just because I knew Ford would eat it and added a little extra garlic and EVOO =) I like it super creamy and garlicky! It’s the perfect healthy snack, filled with protein and packed with flavor. I’m already putting the ingredients back on my grocery list, so I can make it next week!
- 16 oz can chickpeas-drained
- 6 oz roasted bell pepper ( 1/2 TJ's roasted pepper jar)
- 1 jalapeno, seeded, diced
- 1 clove chopped garlic
- 3 T chopped cilantro leaves
