Hummus:)

Ciao Everyone!

I have a simple post for today, in honor of the simplicity of it's purpose..

Hummus.

A simple yet savory and satisfying delight.

Enjoy!:)

Hummus

(makes about 1 3/4 cups)

Ingredients:

1 (15oz) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed

2 tablespoons dry roasted sunflower seeds*

2-3 cloves fresh garlic

1/2 medium white onion

4 tablespoons water

Optional: anything that sounds good from your spices collection;)

Potentially great, and therefore optional as well: spinach, artichokes, mushrooms, tomato...any other thing that may go nicely in hummus...

Directions:

 1) Add all ingredients into a food processor or strong blender

 2) Blend together until completely combined

 3) Serve with veggie sticks, toasted pita bread, or yummy chips:) (Or if you're crazy like me, then try it with popcorn! Or..even crazier... first, mix the hummus with peanut butter and mustard! :P )

*I used sunflower seeds because that's what we had in the pantry. For a more authentic flavor, use sesame seeds. (Although I have not gotten to yet, and therefore cannot vouch for the results!)

Ciao for now:)
