Hummus

Hummus

Makes 3 3/4 cups
Ingredients:
  • 2 – 15 ounce cans of chick peas (garbanzos), one drained, one undrained
  • 1/4 cup raw sesame seeds mixed in coffee grinder
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 garlic glove, minced
  • 1 tsp cumin
Directions:
  • Place all ingredients in blender in order listed.
  • Blend until smooth.
  • If necessary, use the tamper to push the ingredients into the blades while processing.


After blending the “plain” hummus, I portioned-out about half and added it to a storage container for later. To the remaining hummus, I added approximately 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes in their olive oil, then continued to blend.

Turkey Pastrami

3 tablespoons Coriander seeds
3 tablespoons cracked black pepper
6 cloves of garlic
1 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
1/4 cup coarse salt
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup paprika
1 tablespoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground mace optional
4-5 lb turkey breast

Grind in a coffee grinder
Done once turkey is 170 f

Next time: Try to brine the meat in a standard brine then add the rub. This time it was a bit more dry than I would have liked it to be.
