The Other Queen of Schmootz: Beckie from the Organic Dish!

November 9th, 2009

Part of what makes having a food blog so much fun is not only sharing our recipes but also featuring people, businesses and products we love.  The Organic Dish is one of my Boulder faves.

When I first heard about Beckie’s business I was really intrigued. Making partially prepared meals that are easy, creative and healthy is not what you might think. Oh, did I mention her business is zero waste?  She also features locally grown meat, vegetables and gluten-free pasta from Pasta Bozza. I have been so impressed by Beckie’s creativity as well as her commitment to our community and the environment. We have all enjoyed some outstanding meals from the Organic Dish. 

Beckie’s green pea "hummus" is the perfect schmootz for spring and summer but now I make it whenever I entertain as it’s easy to adapt to other flavors and it is so beautiful. 

Beckie’s Green Pea Hummus

1 (1-lb.) bag frozen organic baby peas, thawed
1 Tbsp. Tahini
2 Tbsp. lemon jucie
1/3 cup chopped parsley
1/2 tsp. cumin
1 tsp olive oil
1 1/2 Tbsp. Water
1 tsp. freshly chopped garlic

Place all ingredients in the food processor and blend until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve with Stacy’s Pita Crips, Triscuit Thin Crisps, Mary Gone Crackers or sliced red bell peppers and cucumbers and celery.
