CILANTRO-JALAPENO HUMMUS AND TABOULI (A LA PITA JUNGLE)
I'm addicted to this dish at a local pita chain and had to re-create it at home. The flavor combinations are out of this world; every bit is sheer heaven, I'm not even kidding! My taste buds have never experienced such excitement. This is a vegetarian recipe that will please non-vegetarians (my husband and I are both meat eaters). Pita Jungle uses bulgur in their tabouli (which is traditional) but I use quinoa in mine, to boost the protein a little, and I can't tell the difference in flavor. Prep time includes the recommended 24-hour "marinate" time for the tabouli. The hummus recipe is a variation of my Recipe #436722.

Steps:
- Tabouli:.
- Place quinoa in a fine-mesh wire strainer.
- Rinse several times, rubbing the grains together to remove the bitter outer layer.
- Place water and quinoa in a small saucepan.
- Bring to a boil then reduce heat to a simmer and cover.
- Cook for 10 to 15 minutes or until all water has been absorbed.
- Let cool.
- Once the quinoa has cooled completely, mix together with the rest of the ingredients.
- Refrigerate for at least one hour or overnight.
- Hummus:.
- Add all ingredients, except for the reserved garbanzo bean juice, to the work bowl of your food processor.
- Process until well blended.
- While the processor is still running, slowly add reserved garbanzo bean juice through the feed chute until desired consistency is reached.
- To Serve:.
- Spread the hummus evenly onto 5 dinner plates.
- Split the tabouli into 5 servings as well, and plop into the center of each plate on top of the hummus.
- Serve with pitas and sliced cucumbers.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better the hummus and tabouli will taste.
- Don't overprocess the hummus. Overprocessing can make the hummus too smooth and lose its texture.
- Let the hummus rest before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together.
- Serve the hummus with a variety of toppings. Some popular toppings include olive oil, paprika, cumin, and fresh herbs.
- Make the tabouli ahead of time. Tabouli can be made up to 24 hours in advance, which makes it a great dish for potlucks or parties.
- Use a variety of grains in the tabouli. In addition to bulgur, you can also use quinoa, couscous, or freekeh.
- Add some vegetables to the tabouli. Some popular vegetables to add include tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, and bell peppers.
- Use a light vinaigrette dressing for the tabouli. A simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, lemon juice, and salt and pepper is all you need.
- Serve the tabouli with pita bread or crackers. Tabouli is a great appetizer or side dish.
