directions

Step 1

With the motor running, drop the garlic cloves through the

feeding tube of your food processor. Add the chick peas and

process for 30 seconds or so. Add the rest of the ingredients

except cilantro and red peppers. Process until smooth.

Step 2

Add red peppers and pulse or (lightly blend in if doing by

hand). Add more water if needed. Consistency should be like

pudding or mayonnaise.

Step 3

Stir in chopped cilantro.

Tips & Variations

I use this in many forms: appetizer, condiment, and salad

dressing.
Add a tablespoon or two to oil & vinegar or lemon juice to

make a great salad dressing

Serve use as a dip with fresh veggies or, for you non-South

Beachers – with pita or tortilla chips or fresh pita pockets

Use instead of mayonnaise. It really adds zip to grilled

vegetables, tuna and chicken.

*Chipotle chilies pack quite a punch, so if you like things

mild, but flavorful, start with 1 tsp and add more to taste.
