Ever get bored of hummus? It's everywhere; probably because it's a basic go-to when you need a quick appetizer option. Don't get me wrong, I do like hummus, but I also like flavor. I found myself with a lot of spinach the other day, even after making a spinach salad, sauteed spinach-stuffed potatoes and this super yummy spinach and mushroom dahl, I was beginning to wonder if I could eat any more spinach. But then I found myself in need of a quick dip to go with veggies and I just happened to have some dried chick peas soaking, it seemed like a blender marriage.
The result is a beautiful green hummus with hints of sweet from the fig jam. A wonderful break from typical hummus and perfect as a dip or a sandwich spread. This makes an enormous amount of dip, great for a large party; cut the recipe in half if you are making this for yourself or a small party.
No matter how much you make, it's a Fat and Happy and Healthy delicious!
Happy Healthy Tips: Chick peas are loaded with protein, fiber, magnesium; spinach is filled with phytonutrients.
Spinach Fig Hummus
8 cups spinach
2 cups chick peas*
1 clove garlic
1/4 cup olive oil

Touch of pepper
Place all the ingredients in a blender or food processor, whirl to combine.
*I used 2 cups of chick peas, though I might add an additional cup of for a thicker consistency next time I make this.
Try adding a large handful of thai basil and cilantro - now we are talking about flavor.
ReplyDeleteLove the color of the hummus. Thank you for sharing the recipe! I will definitely try it.
