Red Pepper Hummus – Sesame Seed Free

Leave a comment

Here’s a delicious red pepper hummus recipe, unique indeed because it’s sesame seed free!

 We like our hummus with a texture quite thick, which is why homemade we always pick!

Ingredients

  • 3 cans or cartons of pre-cooked chick peas
  • 1/2 a red pepper
  • 25ml of fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 3 garlic cloves. 
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 tablespoons olive oil
  • 120 ml water 
  • 1 teaspoon salt  

Have your chick peas ready to go…  

And measure out your lemon juice ready to flow…

  

…into the jug with your cumin too…

  

And half of a red pepper washed right through.

  

You’ll need to peel and give your garlic cloves a chop…

  

…and into the jug with the oil you pop….

  

All of the ingredients into your blend ready to whir! 

    

And in 30 seconds your hummus is ready to stir!

ButterBean Beet Burgers

Ingredients:
Organic Butterbeans
Organic Carrots
Organic Beets
Salt and Pepper

Here’s a simple recipe that’s colourful and neat
Ladies and gentleman – let’s turn up the Beet!

Soak Butterbeans over night in a large pot
We use our soak and strain bowl we love it a lot!

IMG_2224.JPG

IMG_2225.JPG

Then rinse and wash the beans and slowcook in a pan
Or buy ready cooked organic butter beans if you can.

Mash the butter beans and season as you wish,
And put them aside in a small separate dish.
Do the same with the carrots and beetroot too,
Make sure they’re all seasoned and mashed right through.

IMG_2230.JPG

We used lemon juice, some pepper and salt from the sea,
You might add some cayenne pepper too if you like it spicy.
Mix the beet, beans and carrots together in a bowl and mix,
Add seasoning then blend, stir, taste and repeat to fix.

IMG_2231.JPG

Then when your mixture is just right fill up your burger press
Which makes thick burger size portions that won’t look a mess!

IMG_2232.JPG

IMG_2233.JPG

It works just like a stamp you fill it at the top
Then turn over and press down and out burgers pop!
Press them down onto a greaseproof paper lined tray
Beautiful Pink Bean Beet and carrot burgers HOORAY!

IMG_2222.JPG

Then place them in the oven on a medium heat
When they are golden and crisp they are ready to eat!
It usually takes about 30 to 40 minutes to make,
Make sure to flip them half way when you bake.
