*Disclosure: This post is part of my ongoing relationship with the folks from Sabra Hummus. I am thrilled to be a Sabra Tastemaker and excited to share recipes I have developed using Sabra Hummus. I am being compensated to develop recipes to share with you; all opinions expressed here are 100% mine.

Roasted Poblano Hummus Cream Sauce

My mom makes a creamy roasted peanut sauce she serves over roasted chicken that my grandfather loved. He used to request on every visit us. It was made with fresh chiles, slowly roasted peanuts, pepitas, spices and crema. She would serve it with roasted chicken over a bed of rice to soak in all that yummy cream sauce.
She would begin preparing after breakfast and have it ready for us to enjoy at dinner. I loved it, we all do. I craved this sauce last weekend and had planned to make it, but my weeks have been brutal and it made me crave it even more.

So I decided to create a quicker, similar recipe to enjoy over a heaping pile of roasted shrimp. I substituted Sabra Chipotle Hummus to give me that all day slow roasted peanut flavor. Two poblanos under the broiler and I was set to blend this creamy sauce.

My kiddos enjoyed the creamy thick sauce and mi carino requested a second plate. Me? Well let’s just say I made it again the next day and invited my mom over to dinner. Score!
