Before hummus became an "in" snack, we had already been eating it for years! My dad likes more interesting foods and we grew up with delicious, but not yet "in" things like homemade hummus, fresh gazpacho (I still need to get his recipe for this) and liverwurst. (I think I liked that until I knew what it was.)
I had a container of plain yogurt in the fridge from the Oriental Chicken Salad I made last week and always have cans of chick peas and fresh lemons on hand, so I thought I'd try hummus. When I made this "lightened up" dish, it tasted exactly like the one we had growing up. The peanut butter is a really great substitue for tahini (sesame paste). I'd take this over the Sabra brand anyday.
Ingredients:
1 can chick peas, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup plain nonfat yogurt
2 tsp. creamy peanut butter
2 tsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic
1 tsp Kosher salt
Juice of one lemon
1/8 tsp allspice
Directions:
Put everything into a food processor or Magic Bullet and blend until creamy and thick. Adjust spices accordingly.
