Lemon Herb Hummus

October 5, 2015 · 7 Comments

Lemon Herb HummusI would be lying to you if I said I actually like hummus. Because as much as I love a good chickpea, I don’t particularly enjoy hummus. I’m not sure if it’s the texture, or the flavor itself. But for a recent end of summer dinner party I threw, I decided to have another go at enjoying hummus and making my very own. I often put a different twist on every recipe I make, and this hummus was no exception. Lemon Herb HummusJ was surprised with its chunky texture, which I liked, but what I enjoyed the most was its intense lemon flavor, so if you don’t dig the citrus flavor, you can use a smaller amount. I’d say I’ve probably go much smoother on the texture the next time I make it. This hummus was so good though, I didn’t mind that I didn’t include the traditional tahini. If you have it on hand, go ahead add a couple of tablespoons, make it a true classic. Lemon Herb Hummus Lemon Herb HummusThe best part of this hummus are the leftovers, especially slathered onto a warm pita bread, topped with kale, the last of summer’s sweet ripened tomatoes, and salsa. It’s like summer all over again. Lemon Herb Hummus Aside from a strong lemon flavor, I wanted to season this hummus with plenty of fresh herbs I still have growing in the yard. So I grabbed a handful of basil, cilantro, and dill. Since the second batch of my dill hasn’t grown large enough for three tablespoons, I used some dried dill I still had from last year’s batch. But you can replace any of these herbs with your favorites.Lemon Herb Hummus Lemon Herb HummusYes, I know game watching foods have been coming up a lot lately, well that’s what you get when you date a sports guy, like J. I don’t mind it, it helps me get creative with healthier versions of classic game foods, like this salsa. If this is what football foods look and taste like, then I’m all in. Serve me up this healthy hummus and these paprika spiced chips, or even better pita chips made using this same recipe, for Sunday’s day long game watching or any rainy day movie marathon. Lemon Herb Hummus Lemon Herb Hummus

Ingredients
  1. 3 cups {two 15 oz cans} - Cooked Chickpeas {drained + rinsed}
  2. 1 roasted - Shallot
  3. Grated Zest & Juice 1 Lemon
  4. Sea salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  5. Pinch, Cayenne Pepper {optional}
  6. 3 tablespoons - Fresh Basil {chopped}
  7. 3 tablespoons - Fresh Dill {chopped}
  8. 3 tablespoons - Fresh Cilantro {chopped}
Instructions
  1. In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, shallot {which you can simply sauté with olive oil in a small pan for 3 minutes}, lemon zest and juice, cayenne, and salt and pepper; pulse to combine. While the motor runs, or a bit at a time, pour the olive oil in a steady stream. When the hummus reaches the desired consistency, stop the processor.
  2. Add the herbs, and pulse a few times to combine. Taste and season as necessary. If you need to thin on your hummus, add a bit of water. Serve immediately.
Notes
  1. Refrigerate in an airtight container up to 3 days.

    […] You’ll notice a plethora of Patriots gear, it’s a sign of my affection and dedication for my football team, that I never stopped believing in them. I still can’t believe they won their 5th Superbowl and I enjoyed it with the girls, fun games and this tasty lemon hummus. […]

Welcoming Spring w. a Disco Tea Party !!🌸🪩 Welcoming Spring w. a Disco Tea Party !!🌸🪩

If there was a “party theme” that best describes me, I think it would be this.  A delicate explosion of psychedelic pastel blooms & pretty vintage tea cups, colorful retro glasses happily scattered amongst the disco ball reflections — ready to be filled w. the spirit you fancy best to sip & dance on the grass from sunset to moonrise to sunrise, as if at a Grand Ball, Woodstock or Studio54 …

This tablescape best showcases my love of all things 70’s; an era whose soul inspires me & is much of what I love … where delicate & wild flowers are flower power!

Then there’s the romantic at heart; who loves all things intricate vintage details, lush gardens, gilded affairs & tea parties brimming w. classical melodies.

I quite love this Spring styling & you can read/see more of it on the Blog now✨ … follow link in bio
