Don’t have a can of garbanzo beans in your pantry. No worries, try white bean hummus instead. This was my first time to make white bean hummus…and what a pleasant surprise. This recipe makes a velvety smooth, flavorful, and colorful hummus.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 (14.5 oz) can organic, great northern beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 large clove garlic, minced
  • 2 1/2 tbsp tahini
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley
  • 3/4 tsp kosher salt

DIRECTIONS

  • Add beans, garlic and tahini to a food processor. Blend well, then add remaining ingredients. Blend until smooth.
  • Serve with pita chips or pita wedges as an appetizer or with falafel and other greek food as a side.

Made some yummy boxed lunches for my hubbie and me this morning, only to discover that I had an all day meeting with a catered lunch. We’ll see how these sandwiches stand the 24 hour refrigerator test (since I’ll be eating my sandwich for lunch tomorrow).

INGREDIENTS

  • Olive oil and rosemary bread (bought fresh, sliced from Harris Teeter bakery; immediately put in freezer; took out 4 slices this AM for 2 sandwiches)
  • Harris Teeter roasted garlic hummus
  • Leftover grilled veggies (while Rex was grilling the eggplant for the moussaka, I had him grill a bunch of green and golden zucchini and peppers from my Sunday farmers’ market purchase)

DIRECTIONS

  • Spread generous amount of hummus on both sides of FROZEN bread slices.
  • Top one side with grilled veggies.
  • Wrap in aluminum foil (or tupperware if your city doesn’t recycle aluminum foil)
  • Put in fridge until ready to eat

SIDES

  • Potato salad made on Sunday night on a bed of leftover salad greens
  • Brown Cow Vanilla Yogurt with diced farmers’ market apples
