Description

Ingredients

• ½ cup uncooked quinoa
• 2 cups water
• 2 cups cooked chickpeas
• 1 bunch (approximately 10 oz) kale
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 3 cloves garlic
• 1 small chili pepper, seeded
• 3 tablespoons tahini
• 3 tablespoons lime juice, freshly squeezed
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin powder
• ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
• ¼ teaspoon paprika powder for garnishing

Directions

• Place uncooked quinoa in a fine mesh strainer and rinse with cold water for 15 seconds. Drain well. Transfer the quinoa into a 1-quart saucepan and then add 1 cup of water. Follow the package instructions and cook the quinoa on stove. Approximately 17 minutes. It will yield approximately 1½ cup of cooked quinoa.
• While quinoa is cooking, rinse the kale, remove the stems, and tear the leaves by hand. Add 1 cup of water into a 4-quart saucepan with a steamer basket and then place the washed kale leaves into the steamer. Steam for 2 minutes until the leaves are wilted.
• Remove the steamer from the stove and rinse the lightly steamed kale with cold water to prevent any further cooking. Transfer the cooked kale into a food processor and chop briefly. Set aside.
• Place only ½ cup of the cooked quinoa and the remaining ingredients except the chopped kale, olive oil, and paprika powder into the food processor, blend until smooth.
• Transfer the hummus into a large bowl and stir in the remaining quinoa, kale, and olive oil. Garnish with paprika and serve with fresh kale leaves, tortilla, or carrots.
