Hummus?
| Mon, 11-03-2003 - 1:14pm |
I would love to add hummus to my list of snack foods, but I am allergic to sesame. Does anyone know if I can make it without the tahini?? I am soooo sick of string cheese and celery!! LOL!

I found this on Recipezaar.com. I also read somewhere that you could substitute natural peanut butter for the tahini. Hope this helps. Enjoy!
1 can chickpeas, drained
1 lemon, juice of (about 1/4 cup)
1/4 cup olive oil
1 clove garlic
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1. Put all ingredients into a food processor and blend until smooth.
2. Chill in a covered container.
3. Garnish with parsley.
In addition to the recipe suggested, try the natural or deli sections in your grocery store for prepared hummus. I am sure that not all of them are prepared with sesame ingredients. Enjoy!
