Hummus with Jalapeno and Cilantro

Intern AB here in chambers brought in a delish hummus he'd made for an international cooking competition being held at his law school tonight. I ask you, fellow bloggeristas, why did we not have this sort of thing at our law school?

Intern AB, way to go. Here's the recipe:

Humus with Jalapeno and Cilantro


  • 30 oz. chick peas, drained but with some liquid reserved
  • ½ C olive oil
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 3 T. lime juice
  • bit of cumin
  • 2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
  • ¾ C chopped cilantro

Blend together chickpeas, olive oil, salt, garlic, lime juice and cumin. If you don’t want to use all of the olive oil called for, use some of the chickpea liquid to thin the mixture instead. Add the peppers and cilantro and blend again.

Try not to eat the whole thing with a spoon. It’s a spread, people!

The hummus and the law school cooking competition both sound fantastic. If we had had such a competition at our beloved alma mater and if the three of us had combined our femme fatale cooking forces, we would have been unstoppable. UNSTOPPABLE.

But here's a thought - maybe we can organize an alumni cooking competition in DC one of these days?

Girl, you are pickin' up what I'm puttin' down. I just went to an Alumni Board meeting this week and this is *exactly* the kind of event that we're looking to have in other cities! Let's keep this in mind for next year!
