If you want to make a party platter while sticking with healthy options, hummus is your best friend. Fresh ground sumac adds a nice finishing touch to creamy hummus, and you can surround the dip with an assortment of pita, crackers and veggies.


serves/makes:
  
ready in:
  30-60 minutes

ingredients

3 tablespoons garlic, minced
3 cans (15.5 ounce size) garbanzo beans
1 cup tahini sesame seed butter
3 large lemons, juice of
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/8 teaspoon sumac berries, ground

directions

Drain two cans of the beans, reserving the liquid. Place the beans in a food processor along with the undrained can of beans, and the remaining ingredients except for oil and sumac.

Blend until it is a smooth paste. Drizzle olive oil into the mixture until the hummus is thick yet smooth and spreadable. It should be like warm peanut butter but not as finely ground. You may adjust the consistency further with the reserved liquid from the garbanzo beans.

Put in a serving dish, top with sumac and extra cayenne pepper.

Cover tightly and chill slightly before serving. It should be at cool room temperature.

Serve with pita or other flat bread. Drizzle a bit of olive oil around the edges of the plate.

NOTE: Ground sumac is available at most Middle Eastern stores or from spice merchants.
