Bacon And Houmous Butties Hummus Recipes

Steps:

• For the hummus: In the bowl of a food processor blend the cocoa powder, maple syrup, almond extract, cinnamon, salt and garbanzo beans. Add a little bit of water to adjust the consistency if needed.
• For the bacon: Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
• Cook the bacon to desired doneness in the microwave or on the stovetop. Sprinkle the hot bacon with brown sugar then bake for 5 minutes.
• Dip the candied bacon in the chocolate hummus and enjoy!

Steps:

• Cook the bacon under a preheated oven grill for seven minutes at about 240C/475F - turning half way through the cooking time.
• Cook until crispy, but not burnt or too dry.
• (You can also fry the bacon in a pan if you wish).
• Butter the two slices of bread and place the grilled or fried bacon inside the two slices of bread to make a sandwich.
• Add sauces to taste.
• Enjoy!
• The bread can also be toasted if you wish! And, you can make this sandwich with a crusty bread roll.
• The Scientist's Formula:.
• Four researchers at the Department of Food Science at Leeds University in the UK spent more than 1,000 hours testing 700 variations on the traditional bacon sandwich.
• They tried different types and cuts of bacon, cooking techniques, types of oil and a range of cooking times at different temperatures.
• A shortlist was then tested with computers to measure the texture of each sandwich.
• Fifty volunteers also judged each sandwich according to its taste, texture and flavour.
• The formula is: N = C + {fb (cm) . fb (tc)} + fb (Ts) + fc . ta, where N=force in Newtons required to break the cooked bacon, fb=function of the bacon type, fc=function of the condiment/filling effect, Ts=serving temperature, tc=cooking time, ta=time or duration of application of condiment/filling, cm=cooking method, C=Newtons required to break uncooked bacon.

Steps:

• Grill the bacon on both sides until crisp.
• Cut the baguette in half lengthways and spread generously with hummus.
• Fill with the bacon and cut into 8 sandwiches.

Steps:

• For the hummus: Set the peanuts on a baking sheet lined with paper towels and allow to air dry for 30 minutes.
• Transfer to a clean kitchen towel and roll the peanuts around while applying light pressure with the palm of your hand. This will remove some of the skins off of the peanuts.
• Place the peanuts, lemon juice, tahini, parsley, coriander, cumin, paprika and garlic in a food processor. Process for 1 minute and then, with the motor still running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil. The hummus should have a smooth, loosely spreadable consistency. Adjust with a tablespoon of hot water if needed. Season with salt and pepper and transfer to your serving bowl of choice. Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, the crumbled bacon and feta cheese.
• For the toast: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lay your thinly sliced bread pieces on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with the Parmesan. Bake until golden brown and fully crisped, 5 to 8 minutes. Serve alongside your delicious hummus!
