Garlicky Hummus with Toasted Pine Nuts and Olive Oil

July 5, 2010 by epicureanvegan

Garlicky Hummus with Toasted Pine Nuts and Olive Oil -- Epicurean VeganThis is probably my new favorite hummus. I love how smooth it is and sprinkled with toasted pine nuts and drizzled with olive oil is certainly the way to go. You can make it spicier by adding a teaspoon of cumin or some cayenne.

INGREDIENTS:
4 garlic cloves, minced and then mashed (I added one more)
2 15-oz cans of garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drained and rinsed
2/3 cup of tahini (roasted, not raw)
1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup olive oil, plus some to drizzle
1/2 teaspoon of salt
Pine nuts, toasted

DIRECTIONS:
In a food processor, combine the mashed garlic, garbanzo beans, tahini, lemon juice, 1/2 cup water, and olive oil. Process until smooth. Add salt, starting at a half a teaspoon, to taste. Spoon into serving dish and sprinkle with toasted pine nuts and drizzle on some olive oil. Serve with crackers, raw dip vegetables such as carrots or celery, or with pita bread. Makes about 3 cups. Enjoy!

    What a great idea! I love pine nuts but I’ve never thought of combining them with my other favorite, hummus. This would be perfect with a batch of homemade pitas…if only it wasn’t so warm here, I hate to turn on my oven!

The Epicurean Vegan is devoted to those wanting to eat healthy, save animals, and reduce their carbon footprint. My decision to go vegan started out as a quest to get healthier, but the more I learned about veganism, the more I realized how damaging the meat and dairy industries are to the environment and, of course, the animals. And it is for these reasons, that I would never go back to eating or wearing animal products. Ever.
