Chive Flower Pancake
Chive Flower Pancake
Another great Korean savory pancake recipe; this time using chive flower. Chive flower are like a cross between green onion and a thin green bean. The difference between these and garlic chives is that the chive flower has the little bud on the end. Garlic chives are a little flatter with more of a garlic flavor. Either work well for his recipe if you can’t find one or the other.

Jalapeno Garlic Hummus
Jalapeno Garlic Hummus
Let’s face it. This shit is addicting. The store bought brands know this too and charge an arm and a leg for it. $5 for an 8 oz tub of hummus is unreasonable, knowing that it will be gone in a couple of minutes. This recipe makes 2lbs worth of hummus for less than $5 and is a lot tastier if I do say so myself.I like to use dried chickpeas instead of the canned; but you can definitely used canned. The very basic ingredients to any hummus recipe are chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, and olive oil. Then you can add pretty much anything to the hummus to make your own flavor. Garlic, jalapeño, spinach, roasted red peppers, cilantro, parsley, etc, are all great additions to hummus.
Ingredients
- 4 cups chickpeas (or 2 cans)
- 2/3 cup tahini
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 jalapeno
- 10 garlic cloves
- 1/2 medium onion
- 1/2 tbsp paprika
- salt to taste
- room temp water to adjust thickness
Garnish
- paprika
- olive oil
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a food processor.
- Puree until the hummus is smooth. You will have to slowly add water to adjust the consistency of the hummus. Add salt to taste.
- Garnish with olive oil and paprika. Serve with your favorite pita chip.
