What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Eat More: Hummus Amongus! If I told you this was a healthy alternative to chip dip, would you believe me? It’s true. The difference is hummus is made from chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans. They are rich in protein and provide daily fiber. Their smooth texture feels buttery in the mouth leaving a slightly nut-like aftertaste. By adding lemon and spices, it’s the perfect partner for pita chips and fresh vegetables. Go ahead, indulge!
HUMMUS AMONGUS
Ingredients:
1 15-ounce can garbanzo beans, drained
1/2 cup tahini paste
1/4 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon cumin powder
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon pimento, diced
1 teaspoon lemon olive oil
Instructions:
Using a food processor, pulse garbanzo beans until smooth. Add tahini paste, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin powder, and salt. Process until mixed. Transfer hummus to a shallow bowl. Drizzle with lemon olive oil. Garnish with diced pimento. Serve with fresh crudités.
