Jun 9 Hummus where the heart is

This toasted sesame hummus is full of warm and savory spices to fill your senses as well as your hummus-loving belly! As I like hummus so much, and make is so very often, I’m always trying to come up with new recipes and flavors. This one I came up with on a whim and It is certainly one I will be making again!

This hummus is unlike much of what you’d have before I suspect. The warm spices and toasted sesame oil gives this recipe a rich and layered flavor. I’ve eaten this with toasted pita bread as well as a variety of raw veggies… it’s been wonderful at each and every bite!

Time: 10 minutes
Serves: 6

Ingredients

1 can (15 oz) Great Northern beans (low sodium)
1/3 cup toasted sesame oil
2 Tbs water
1 Tbs garlic powder
1 Tbs onion powder
1 and ½ tsp Asian five spice powder
1 tsp salt

Directions

Blend together all ingredients in small food processor until smooth; approximately 4 minutes.

I’m usually a fan of the heavier type sauces; your red sauces, cream sauces, and cheesey type sauces. Well, the husband usually favors a lighter sauce so I try to make them every so often ;-) The other night I was craving pasta and decided to try one we’d not had before: Kite Hill Tortellini. Given that the pasta itself was heavier than a traditional noodle I thought that this was a perfect night to try out one of those lighter sauces that the husband likes :-) Time: 10-15 minutes Servings: 2 Ingredients • 3 Tbs lemon juice • 2 Tbs olive oil • 2 Tbs non-dairy butter • 2 Tbs chopped chives plus additional for garnish • 1 Tbs herbs de Provence • ½ Tbs garlic powder • ¼ tsp salt Add the olive oil and butter to a small sauce pan and set to medium-low heat to melt the butter. Add in the chopped chives, herbs de Provence, lemon juice, garlic, and salt. Turn the heat to low and warm the ingredients together for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to combine. Spoon over your pasta of choice, garnish with additional chopped scallions and serve! . . . #veganaf #vegan #veganrecipes #plantbased #plantbasedrecipes #veganblogger #vegansofinstagram #veganrecipe #dairyfree #foodporn #findingvegan #bestofveganrecipes #friendsnotfood #crueltyfree #animalrights #plantpower #vegancommunity #vegancomfortfood #fussfreevegan #whatveganseat #veganfoodporn #veganfoodlovers #tortellini #pasta #lemon #herbs
