Tzatziki is usually made with yogurt but I like to do things a little different. In comes Hotziki!!!!

Ingredients:

Chorizo sausage, cooked
Pita Bread
Lettuce, I used an organic spring salad mix
Tomato

Hotziki!

2 tbsp. Chardonnay White Bean Hummus        (you can use sour cream or mayonnaise until you can buy it online from Sound Bites)
1/2 tsp. Hot Sauce, I used Tapatio
1 celery stalk, thinly sliced
1/4 bunch of fresh cilantro, broken apart
2 small slices cucumber, minced
A few drops of lemon juice

Mix it all together and spread it over the pita bread. Add the salad mix, tomato and chorizo. SERVE!!!

Enjoy,

Chardonnay White Bean Hummus Tuna Melt

I work part-time for a company that makes hummus. They call me their “product evangelist” which in simple terms means “make food with our products”. I think it’s working out quite nicely and I’m having a good time doing it. Why? Exhibit A. Chardonnay White Bean Hummus Tuna Melt. I tell people every week at the markets that they should replace mayonnaise with hummus. Every time I say that you can see a light bulb go off in their head and they think about all the ways they can use the hummus instead of mayonnaise. I love tuna fish sandwiches, so this was an easy way to substitute the mayo for hummus.  The verdict? Brilliant!

Ingredients:

2 tbsp. Chardonnay White Bean Hummus        (Sound Bites)
1 can tuna, drained
1 tbsp. shredded Manchego cheese
Baguette bread

Mix the hummus and tuna together then place on bread. Sprinkle the cheese on the sandwich then place it in your oven and broil it to toast it for 2-3 minutes. Serve.

Enjoy,

Hunger Action Week: Day 1 Lunch

I was making a sandwich for Mindy to go to work today. I kept asking, “is this going to be enough”? She said it was perfect but it seems a little lean to me when I compare it to other sandwiches I’ve made (click)

Ingredients:

2 carrots, peeled and julienned
Served 3 tbsp. zesty italian dressing               (normally I make my own dressing but the oils are too expensive for a $12 per day budget)

Sandwich:

French bread, sliced about 3 inches from the original loaf
2 pieces of lettuce
1/2 tomato, sliced thin       (this was from the other half of tomato from breakfast)
Small piece of cheese
1 slice of ham

Put them all together and turn yourself around, that’s what it’s all about! Serve.

Enjoy,

Eric

Cost: $1.68 for two people.  This is approximate, I don’t know how to exactly gauge how much two pieces of lettuce leaf will cost, you get the idea.
