Spinach Artichoke Hummus Food

SPINACH ARTICHOKE HUMMUS

Steps:

• Mix everything together in a food processor (I crammed it all into my small one but it would be easier to use a big one) and blend until smooth. Add an extra splash of water, lemon juice or oil if you need to, to get it to the right consistency.
• Taste and adjust the salt.
• Serve with veggies and crackers or pretzels or use as a sandwich/wrap spread. Delicious!

Steps:

• In a food processor, puree the chickpeas and garlic. Add the olive oil, tahini, and lemon juice, and process until smooth, adding more liquid (either the liquid from the can of chickpeas or some water) if necessary.
• Add the spinach, and pulse a few times, until it is incorporated but not pureed.
• Transfer to a bowl and stir in the artichoke hearts by hand.
• Serve with fresh pita chips!

• Cook's Tip on Tahini
• Tahini is a thick paste made from ground sesame seeds. Add small amounts to enhance salad dressings, marinades, soups, stuffings, and other dips and spreads. Look for tahini in the condiment or ethnic sections in the grocery store.
