RECIPE: Zucchini Hummus

A friend of mine is a hummus addict. She has a right to be - she makes good hummus. I have not tried this particular version as of yet, but mutual friends have raved, so, on their recommendations, I present to you, Zucchini Hummus!

Ingredients:

1 can garbanzo beans

1 zucchini

3 tbsp lime juice

3 tbsp tahini

1 tbsp olive oil

2 cloves of garlic

Salt and pepper


What To Do:

1) Heat the garbanzo beans on the stove in the water from the can, so that they blend easier.

2) Then, throw them into the blender along with the diced zucchini, minced garlic, tahini, olive oil, and lime juice.

3) Blend.

4) Extra Tips: If using dried garbanzo beans, soak two cups in water overnight. Be careful though, they expand. A lot. Also, if you don’t like zucchini, try roasting a red pepper on the stove, scrapping off the burnt skin before tossing it in the blender.
