One From the Vault - Sweet Potato Hummus Recipe

One From The Vault

For our next recipe we go backwards down the number line to our OG menu. One of our most popular original cold sides, this hummus recipe replaces the traditional chickpeas and has a smooth velvety texture. It's sure to be a hit at your next party.

Sweet Potato Hummus

2.5 qt cubed Sweet Potatoes
1 1/3 cup Tahini
1/3 cup Lemon Juice
1/3 cup Oil
2 cups Cold water
1 Tbsp Garlic, Peeled Minced
1 Tbsp Salt
1 tsp Cumin

Instructions
1. Peel sweet potatoes and cut into 1" cubes. Toss with EVOO to coat. Lay out on a sheet pan and roast at 325 for 20 minutes. Set aside and allow to cool.
2. Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Mix with spatula to combine.
3. Transfer to Food Processor, filling it 3/4 of the way. Process for at least 1 min. Stop blending when mixture is perfectly smooth. If your food processor stalls, you can add more water. Adding a tablespoon of water at a time, resume processing.
4. As each batch is blended, transfer from food processor to another large mixing bowl. Repeat until the whole batch is blended thoroughly.
5. Mix the blended hummus again once by hand using a spatula.
6. Serve with vegetables or chips for dipping.

Makes 23 servings.

Continents Collide

Did you know that hummus has been enjoyed for centuries, dating back to ancient civilizations? Hummus was mentioned in the 13th century Arabic cookbook "Kitab al-Tabikh" (The Book of Cooking) and spread throughout the Ottoman Empire before spreading globally in the 20th century through Middle Eastern immigration.

Sweet potatoes have been cultivated for at least 7000 years. Originating in the Andean regions of South America, the humble sweet potato was a staple crop to the indigenous peoples of the Americas. Spread to Europe by Columbus, to Asia by the Spanish, and to Africa by the Portuguese, sweet potatoes are now eaten and cultivated worldwide. Part of a variety of food crops that brought much needed diversity to the world's diets after the discovery of the Americas, sweet potatoes were America's first crop and were grown by George Washington on Mount Vernon.

The combination of the two connects continents and their people as the two histories culminate in this variation on hummus. Nutrient dense sweet potatoes add fiber, vitamin A, potassium, manganese, and anti-oxidants to this nutty and tangy classic.

Our Homemade Sriracha Recipe

Our take on a legend.

Sriracha (also know as Spicy Red Chili Sauce at RFE) the second recipe in our Steal This Recipe series, has been ubiquitous in the hot sauce game for over 20 years. A key element to our Sesame Tahini Sauce, our take on the classic Southeast Asian condiment uses red fresno peppers and honey. Bright red, spicy and slightly sweet, we think it's as good as any.

Sriracha Recipe

Ingredients
Red Fresno Peppers: 1.5 lbs (10-15, red jalapeno will work as well)
Chopped Garlic: 2 tablespoons
Apple Cider Vinegar: 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon
Honey: 1/3 cup
Tamari (gluten free soy sauce): 1/3 cup
Salt: 1 tablespoon
Water: 1 cup

Yields 1 quart

Instructions
Remove stems from peppers. Leave the seeds.
Combine all ingredients into a medium sized pot with lid
Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a low simmer and cover.
Cook for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally
When finished cooking, peppers should be tender.
Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
Blend until smooth with an immersion blender or food processor.
Using a medium fine mesh strainer or colander, strain the seeds from the mixture, using a gloved hand to force the mixture through the strainer.
Bottle and store in the fridge.
Use within 2 weeks.

The History of Sriracha in America
Most of you are probably familiar with Hoy Fong Foods' classic rooster emblazoned bottle with the green cap, designed to look like a red chili pepper.

David Tran, a Vietnamese immigrant that escaped the fall of Saigon by boarding a cargo freighter to Hong Kong, started Huy Fong Foods in 1980.

He started out making chili sauces for local Los Angeles area Asian restaurants. In 1984 he added the sauce recipe he discovered in Si Racha, Thailand.

In the 1990's and early 2000's this sauce achieved cult status and become a secret weapon of many professional chefs.

All the while, he grew slowly, protecting the quality of the product. He turned down offers to buy the company from some of the biggest names in Big Food. Many people told him to trademark the word sriracha, telling him others were capitalizing on his success. He always answered that his sauce was superior and that anyone bringing attention to sriracha would only eventually push consumers to his sauce. He was right.

The story of Huy Fong Foods is one of persistence, a commitment to product quality, and belief in one's self- beliefs we share here at Real Food Eatery.

The name of the freighter that took him to Hong Kong was The Huy Fong.
