Hummus
Tuesday, September 08, 2009
There's nothing like crispy pita chips and fresh hummus. But you never seem to have enough hummus when you need it. Fortunately, its easier to make than it is to run out to the store and buy.
Infinitely variable, add anything like sun dried tomatoes, grilled red peppers, anchovies or artichokes for a flavor all your own.
Instructions:
Place all of the ingredients in a blender or food processor. Blend. Salt and pepper to taste. Blend again until happy.
To store: Cover tightly, it keeps for up to a week.
What's with the two types of Olive Oil?
Extra Virgin Olive Oil is beautifully strong in taste. But, too much will overpower your hummus. Light Olive Oil is Olive Oil from the second pressing and is lighter in flavor (not calories). If you can't find it, substitute canola oil instead.
