– ALMOND HUMMUS –

with some little twists

Are you a little tired of standard hummus? Or avoiding legumes? Trying the Paleo way?

Well here is a little treat for you.

Ingredients

250g almonds, soaked overnight
4 tbsp tahini paste
4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup water
1 lemon, juiced
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tsp Celtic salt
A pinch of pepper

Instructions

Soak almonds overnight to ‘activate’ them. Then drain the almonds.

Put all ingredients in blender or in a food processor and blend until smooth.

Separate into 4 portions.

PORTION 1 – Classic Hummus
Add some ground cumin and ground coriander.

PORTION 2 – Going green
Increase your vege intake by adding about 100g of wilted spinach and crumble some feta in too (around 30g).

PORTION 3 – Seeing red
Roast a red capsicum, skin and mash it. Then blend through – you can add some olives too if you like.

PORTION 4 – Spice it up
Dice a teaspoon of jalapenos and chop up some coriander with red onion and stir it all up.

          

I like to serve these dips with radishes, carrot and celery sticks or red peppers.
They are also yummy on salads and vegetables or corn thins!
