Rosemary Hummus
Posted on Jan 17, 2008 under From My Kitchen |I’d like to share some of my favourite recipes with you from time to time.
Tonight we will be having pita pockets filled with salad (asian baby leaf, cherry tomatoes, pitted olives, red bell pepper, mange-tout, English cucumber, carrot strips) and rosemary hummus. It’s a delicious and filling meal and I love the rosemary flavour.
Rosemary is one of the few herbs tough enough to survive my ministrations, or more often, lack thereof, so I have lots of it in my garden. It’s absolutely delicious in a banana smoothie! I always have chickpeas (garbanzo beans) in my cupboard; it’s one of the few tinned foods I buy.
Rosemary Hummus
1 cup chopped green onions
2 cans chickpeas, rinsed and drained
1½ tsp chopped fresh rosemary
½ teaspoon salt
2 tbs fresh lemon juice
½ cup vegetable broth
Heat a little olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add onions and sauté 3 minutes until tender. Add beans, sauté for 1 minute. Place bean mixture and remaining ingredients in food processor and blend until smooth.

I love hummus, but have never tried my hand at making it myself. You may have inspired me…
Welcome to your new home!

Mmmmm…that sounds really good. I absolutely LOVE hummus and my new obsession is roasted red pepper hummus. I’ll have to try this one. Thanks for the recipe.

Sounds delicious.
You are lucky with the rosemary. For some reason it just does not want to grow in my garden! I am now on my 4th plant, which has already started looking a bit sad.
