Recipe: Basil & Pesto Hummus
I received a new food processor for Christmas and have been trying several new recipes that require the food processor. A friend of mine gave me this recipe and I made it one weekend. It is delicious and healthy!
Ingredients:
1 can (16 oz.) garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drained and rinsed
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
1 clove fresh garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
salt & fresh ground pepper to taste
Directions:
Combine the garbanzo beans, basil, and garlic in a food processor; pulse several times. Use a spatula to push mixture from sides of processor bowl. Pulse mixture again while drizzling in the olive oil. Add vinegar and soy sauce; pulse until combined. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with pita bread, crackers, celery and carrot sticks.
