La Picada Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Spicy Hummus

    In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, tahini, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth, adding water as needed to reach desired consistency. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add thinly sliced zucchini and sweet red onion. Sauté until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Assemble La Picada

    Spread the spicy hummus on a serving platter, crumbling goat cheese on top. Add dollops of pesto and arrange sautéed zucchini and onion, roasted red peppers, and grilled bread around the hummus.
