hummus sans legumes

*

it is freakyhard to be a vegetarian, & be unable to eat legumes. i sincerely hope elfling outgrows his legume-intolerance, & soon.

well, you can imagine my glee when i came across recipes for hummus without legumes! they were more or less the same, so i chose one & set about making it. i was surprised at how much it tasted like hummus! it wasn't perfect though - here is my tweaked version:

zucchini hummus

4 medium zukes, peeled & diced

1 cup tahini

1/2 cup lemon juice

1/3 cup olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp sea salt (add more if needed)

1/4 tsp ground cumin

tsp dried parsley

1) purée all ingredients. 2) make some more for me.

notes: add olives or artichoke hearts before you purée. or heat it with crumbled feta, mmmm.

i hope you give this a try - if you do, let me know how it turns out.

~peace.
