Starters Recipe

Prepare the Vegetables

Julienne the carrot, cucumber, and bell pepper into thin strips. Rinse and dry the mint and cilantro leaves.

Soak the Rice Paper

Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for about 10-15 seconds or until soft and pliable.

Assemble the Rolls

Lay the softened rice paper on a clean surface. Place a small handful of rice noodles, julienned vegetables, mint, and cilantro in the center of the wrapper. Fold the sides in and roll tightly from the bottom up.

Repeat

Continue this process with the remaining rice paper wrappers and filling ingredients.

Serve

Serve the spring rolls with soy sauce and peanut sauce for dipping.

Blend the Ingredients

In a food processor, combine the drained chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, olive oil, cumin, salt, and water.

Process Until Smooth

Blend the mixture until it is smooth and creamy. If the hummus is too thick, add a little more water or olive oil to reach desired consistency.

Taste and Adjust

Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt or lemon juice to suit your preference.

Serve

Transfer the hummus to a serving bowl, drizzle with a little olive oil, and serve with pita bread or fresh vegetables for dipping.
