I wanted to make a red lentil hummus.
The problem was: no red lentils in storage and a lousy rainy day. No way I was going out to buy some.
But my search helped me discover a lock n lock box with dry yellow split peas and a package of Ancho Chili. Why not use the ones I already have? The Chilis are for tomorrow.
The peas needed 40 min cooking time in plain water. I skimmed all the foamy stuff off in the beginning. A half cup of the cooking water needed to go in the hummus later. A clear water is a lot better, so get rid of the scum.
I cooled one part of the peas down on a tray and packed the other part away for the next dish.
In a blender went:
2 cups cooked yellow split peas
1/2 cup cooking water
1/2 cup Tahini
1 tbsp olive oil
1 lemon juiced
Salt, pepper, smoked paprika, sweet paprika
2 tsp garlic paste
Serve with breadsticks or taco chips
