Roasted Garlic Hummus And Goat Cheese Sandwiches Recipes

Steps:

• In small bowl, combine the goat cheese and balsamic vinegar and mix until well combined.
• Spread about 1 tablespoon of the goat cheese mixture on the top half of each ciabatta roll.
• Spread about 2 tablespoons of roasted garlic hummus on the bottom half of each roll.
• On bottom half of each roll, layer 4 cucumber slices, 2 tomato slices, onion slices, and a handful of arugula.
• Cover with the top halves of rolls. Insert a toothpick into each sandwich to secure.
• Serve with chicken and wild rice soup.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• If using whole wheat bread, lightly toast it. This will prevent sandwich from becoming soggy. If using a roll with a hard crust, there is no need to toast.
• In a bowl, mash goat cheese with a fork or spoon and stir in chopped herbs.
• Spread equal amounts of goat cheese on each slice of bread or on both halves of roll. Top the bottom half with roasted pepper and cover with other slice of bread or half of roll. Cut in half if using bread, or into quarters if using a ciabatta roll. Wrap each piece tightly in plastic if transporting. The sandwich keeps well for 2 days.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F Cut off the very top of the garlic clove (about 1/4") so that the tops of most of the cloves are exposed slightly. Coat with a little olive oil and wrap securely in tin foil. Roast garlic in oven for 1 hour. Remove and allow to cool.
• Using your fingers, squeeze the soft, roasted garlic out of each clove into food processor. Rinse and drain cooked or canned chickpeas. Add them, and all other ingredients, to the food processor and blend until completely smooth.
• Scrape ingredients off sides of food processor to make sure it blends evenly. If you find that the hummus is too thick, you can add additional olive oil at this time. Add it very slowly, allowing the mixture to combine fully before adding more liquid.
• Serve at room temperature with crudites, warm pita or crackers.
• Optional: Sprinkle with chopped parsley or paprika before serving.
