This looks lovely, CP63, thanks for converting and sharing it.
-
I didn't notice this. It sounds delicious.
-
no worries, theres a few recipes in this latest edition that look very convertible

Have you tried this one CP or just converted it. I only ask as I would like to know if the taste of the chickpeas comes through. I often entertain a certain group of friends and they don't really like them. No probs here, I love them.

we found this to be delicious. I only had 4 x smallish capsicums, and next time I would also like to try 4 larger capsicums as there is a nice zestiness that comes through. I wouldn't say the chickpeas were an overpowering element at all, but would say its more of a texture. Would be interested to know that if you served it and not told them about the chickpeas if they could detect it ;)

That's what I was intending to do CP63 but thought I would ask first in case the taste was obvious. :D

My dd is going to love this, she is having a few people over on Saturday for her birthday and will go down a treat :-*

I made this dip for New Years Eve, it was delicious, and friends were all raving about it!
I made a mistake though, and had it processing too high speed for too long, but I found that it made it quite nice, smooth and fluffy, rather than chunkier type hummus.
Also used capsicum from a jar I needed to finish off so it probably ended up with a little more oil than the recipe states.
Fantastic recipe, thank you!

I still have some of the chick peas I bought up in Kununurra. This sounds a lovely way to use them. All I have to do is remember to soak them the night before.
