Recipe of the Week – Hummus
(From the Appetizers Category at www.emealsforyou.com)
Hummus
We have been doing a lot of “small plates” in recent weeks. My wife would rather have several choices of foods then one big meal. As in my recent posts I find “small plates” to be an excellent way to use up all the small quantities of leftovers without them appearing to be leftovers. Some of our neighborhood friends have been asking how they can make interesting appetizers for their guests. As many are single and don’t cook, the requirements are that the appetizers have to be easy to prepare, something they have on hand and most of all good.
Hummus falls into these categories. You can put this recipe together in a few minutes and it will bring raves from your quests. The recipe calls for chic peas, also known as garbanzo beans, but I use white beans or navy beans if I don’t have the chic peas. Both provide the smooth, fulfilling taste, are easy on the budget and will get you out of the kitchen and onto the deck quickly.
