Categories     appetizer

Time 2h20m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 16

Two 15-ounce cans butter beans, drained and skins removed if they are peeling
1 head Roasted Garlic, recipe follows, cloves squeezed from the skins
3/4 cup tahini
4 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup lemon juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Pita bread, pita chips or fresh vegetables, for serving
1 head garlic
1 teaspoon olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Process the beans in a food processor until they form a paste. Add the Roasted Garlic and pulse 2 to 3 times to incorporate. Add the tahini, cumin, coriander, paprika and cayenne and blend until a smooth texture starts to develop, 1 to 2 minutes. With the motor running, pour in the olive oil and blend until smooth. The mixture will be thick at this point. Pour in the lemon juice and, if needed, drizzle in water, 1 tablespoon at a time (up to 1/2 cup), until the desired consistency is reached. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Cover and refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour. Serve with pita bread, pita chips or fresh vegetables.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Cut the top off of the garlic head, exposing the cloves but leaving the head intact. Set the head on a large piece of foil, drizzle with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Wrap up the foil to make a pouch and bake until the garlic is soft and roasted, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Set aside to cool. Yield: 1 head garlic

Categories     Dinner

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 large red pepper, halved and deseeded
1 tsp vegetable oil
160g long-stemmed broccoli
handful of mint leaves, to serve
2 large skinless chicken breast fillets (about 125g each)
120g natural yogurt
3 tbsp finely grated turmeric
1⁄2 tsp cumin seeds
1⁄2 tsp ground coriander
1 garlic clove, finely grated
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
400g can butter beans, drained, liquid reserved
1 tbsp lemon zest, plus 1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, plus a drizzle
1 garlic clove, roughly chopped
1⁄2 tsp cumin seeds
1⁄2 tsp ground coriander

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Line a baking sheet with foil. Make a few small cuts around the edges of the pepper halves using a sharp knife, then flatten them as much as you can with your palm. Rub with the veg oil and roast on the lined baking sheet for 10 mins.
  • Meanwhile, cut the chicken breasts in half lengthways at an angle so you end up with four thin fillets. Mix the yogurt, turmeric, cumin seeds, ground coriander, garlic, lemon juice and olive oil with some black pepper in a bowl. Add the chicken and turn to coat in the marinade. When the peppers have had 10 mins, turn them over, add the chicken fillets to the sheet, spacing them apart slightly, and spoon any remaining marinade over them. Roast for 20 mins, turning the chicken fillets halfway, until cooked through.
  • For the hummus, use a hand blender to blitz together the beans, lemon zest and juice, olive oil, garlic, cumin seeds and coriander with 6 tbsp liquid from the can, some salt and plenty of black pepper. It should be completely smooth.
  • When the chicken has been cooking for 10 mins, steam the broccoli for 6 mins until tender. Spoon the hummus over two plates, then top with the roasted peppers and chicken. Scatter with the mint, drizzle with olive oil and serve with the broccoli on the side.
