We are off to a friends place tonight for a BBQ and decided to create a new hummus recipe. I absolutely love hummus - the summer flavour and the versatility, not to mention the health factor. Tonight, I am serving the hummus with whole wheat pita triangles. This hummus would be great as a spread on a sandwich, to dip bread sticks in, served with crackers, as a dip for veggies etc. Here is the recipe I came up with. Hope you like it!
2-3 cloves garlic (depending on how much you love garlic)
1 can chick peas, rinsed & drained
1 tbsp peanut butter
2 tbsp olive oil (PB & Olive Oil are used as a substitution for tahini)
3 tbsp of lemon juice from concentrate
2 whole roasted red peppers (homemade or from a jar - both work)
1/2 package of frozen chopped spinach, thawed
1/2 tsp salt
In an electric food processor combine all ingredients. Process until everything is finely chopped. Taste test and add salt, pepper and additional garlic if needed. If more moisture is needed, add lemon juice & oil alternating until desired texture. Transfer hummus to a bowl, cover and chill until you are ready to serve. I find chilling for a few hours lets the flavours infuse throughout the mixture. Enjoy!

Wow, this recipe looks "Simply Jillicious".
I like the pb in the hummus - will give it a try.
What are those white cube things in the processor bowl?
