Just like the dip I recently posted, this one (the orange one sitting within the straight homous above) was the result of blending leftovers from a recent meal. And will now form a dip recipe in its own right in my kitchen.
I made myself a meal of leftovers one evening…I started with chopped red onions, which I cooked in coconut oil, over a medium heat, until they became lovely soft and starting to brown; I then added chopped garlic and red peppers, and cooked for a bit longer; then added some of my rose harissa spice mix, and cooked for a minute, before adding washed and drained chickpeas, and cooked it all through together.
I ate this with some freshly cooked farro and quinoa, but sadly I have no photos as I just got on and ate it!
I then put the leftovers into my blender with lemon juice and tahini and whizzed it into a smooth dip, and put it in the fridge overnight for the flavours to develop – the outcome is a lovely flavoursome homous. And I mean really REALLY tasty!
There really is nothing better than leftovers, the flavours are always more developed!
I hope you’ve all had a good week, and have a lovely weekend ahead of you. I’m taking my dip over to Fiesta Friday, co hosted this week by the lovely Judi and Maggie, have fun!
Love the rose petals in the homous. I can almost smell the flavors in your creative dish!

How gorgeous! I have got to take a page from you and try whizzing leftovers into dip. I sometimes add them to my smoothies and to scrambled eggs for breakfast, but this sounds so marvelous! I’m loving the spice mix, too! 🙂

Gorgeous presentation, Elaine! Hummm I need to try your rose harissa spice mix as well as your new dip. Leftovers are the best, aren’t they? I love how you can create something new out of them but I think you may be the queen of that 🙂
