Dinah Moe Hummus

The following recipe is for the hummus I made last night, we have this on lavash flatbread or Suzie's Kamut Sesame flatbread, or we put it on cucumber slices or baby carrots, celery...we use it instead of mayo for spreads, it's reallly good with a good handful of alfalfa sprouts in a flax wrap with some turkey or chicken or a chopped egg... sounds like hippie food but it's actually really good!

If you don't get the name, then you don't listen to Frank Zappa. lol I don't either, I only ever heard 3 songs but they were all....interesting?

Dinah Moe Hummus

1 can chick peas, rinsed
1/4 c. extra virgin olive oil
3 - 4 cloves garlic
1 grind sea salt
1 tsp. ground cumin
3 tbsp lemon juice
hot sauce or cayenne pepper to taste, I usually give it about 4 shots of Texas Pete or similar hot sauce

This makes about two cups or a little more of hummus...

Place all in the food processor and let it whip for a while, until it looks uniform and smooth.  You shouldn't ever see any lumps when you spread it.  This one has a really nice light texture, a lot of flavour and a little bit of a kick...definitely NOT boring hummus!

That's it folks...oh and if you've never tried hummus because it looks....well...a little wierd, not very appetizing to some...and the whole chickpea thing throws a lot of people off, trust me, it's awesome...I put off trying it for 34 years and those are 34 non-hummus-eating years I'll never get back! *sob*
Have a great day, all!!
