MISO GARLIC SHISHITO PEPPER HUMMUS
/
Miso. Garlic. Shishito peppers. Chickpeas.
It might sound like an insane mixture, but it's totally a party in your mouth.
While on vacation in Houston, TX, I of course had to visit my favorite spot- Benjy's. While there we had amazing brussel sprouts and this crazy shishito pepper hummus. I knew instantly I wanted to try my hand at this since I love both shishitos and hummus- they're weekend food staples.
Served with veggies, rice cakes, some meat, or fish, this hummus is super versatile. Easy to whip up, this is also a great addition to those buddha bowls.
Aside from this delicious dip- let's dive into the movies. Last night I went to see The Founder- the story of Ray Kroc and how McDonald's became the food empire it is today. It was absolutely phenomenal. While the food at McDonald's isn't something I eat for many reasons, the story of its empire is one truly inspiring for entrepreneurs and displaying the American dream- I highly recommend checking it out.
Enjoy this recipe and my movie rec- see you all next week for another delicious recipe and ranting!
