Sun-Dried Tomato Hummus (no beans!)
Sun Dried Tomato Hummus
Ani‘s Raw Food Kitchen
2 c zucchini or summer squash, chopped
2 cloves garlic
Juice of 1 lemon (2 T)
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup tahini (I only used 1 T)
1 t sea salt
2 T parsley, chopped
1/3 c sun dried tomatoes, chopped
Pinch of paprika
Process zucchini, garlic, lemon juice, 1/4 c olive oil, tahini, and salt until smooth. Pour mixture into a bowl, and stir in parsley and sun dried tomatoes. Set aside and allow tomatoes to soak up moisture for 10 minutes or more. Stir well. (note: I did not let them soak, but instead just blended everything together all at once and it works fine that way as well). Sprinkle a pinch of paprika and drizzle w/a teaspoon of olive oil on top just before serving. Keeps for 2-3 days in the fridge.
Creamy Hummus
Ok, yes…I’m addicted to Vive Le Vegan. It’s so great! I made this tonight to dip some chips in…and it’s completely addicting. After I looked at the recipe again, I realized I forgot the tahini (kind of an important thing!) and it was STILL great. Don’t EVER buy hummus from the store again…this is the best recipe I’ve found!
2 cups cooked chickpeas (canned is ok, soaking your own is best)
3.5 – 5 T freshly squeezed lemon juice (adjust to taste)
2-3 T tahini
2 T extra-virgin olive oil
1 small to medium garlic clove
1/2 t toasted sesame oil
1/2 t sea salt
3-4 T water (or less/more as desired)
Freshly ground pepper to taste
In a blender or food processor, combine all the ingredients and puree until smooth, adding a little water at first, then more if desired to thin it. Scrape down sides of bowl several times throughout and puree again until very smooth. Season to taste with additional salt, pepper, and/or lemon juice. Serve in a large bowl, drizzled with extra-virgin olive oil.
