Roasted Red Pepper Relish
This is hands down my favorite thing to make with a glut of caspiums. I've been making it for over twenty years. It's amazing on broiled feta, or spooned over grilled or roasted meat and vegetables of all types. It’s based on a recipe from The Zuni Cafe Cookbook , which is in my top 5 cookbooks of all time. The original owner Judy Rodgers, sadly passed at a young age but her vibrant cafe, memory, incredible cooking sensibilities and recipes live on.
Beet Hummus
The color of this hummus draws people in, but the flavor is what makes this recipe a true keeper. I’ve tried many beet hummus’s but none come close. I think it’s the ratio of garbanzos to beets, as well as the spices and touch of sweetness from maple syrup that make this the best beet hummus I’ve eaten.
