CILANTRO-JALAPENO HUMMUS AND TABOULI (A LA PITA JUNGLE)

Cilantro-Jalapeno Hummus and Tabouli (A La Pita Jungle) image

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.

Number Of Ingredients 20

Ingredients

1/4 cup quinoa
1/2 cup water
1 bunch fresh parsley, finely chopped (in this dish I prefer the texture of the curly parsley)
4 large green onions, chopped
1 1/2 lemons, juice of
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 pinch black pepper
1 pinch salt
2 (15 ounce) cans garbanzo beans, drained but juice from one can reserved
2 large garlic cloves
2 limes, juice of
1/3 cup tahini paste
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 large jalapenos
3/4 cup fresh cilantro (about 1/2 a bunch)
5 whole wheat pita bread
2 cucumbers, sliced

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.
