Pizza hummus? Yeah, I went there. Hummus is one of my go to snacks. I love regular hummus, black bean hummus, white bean, even lentil hummus. It’s just so easy and so satisfying. I was playing around in the kitchen trying to mimic a tomato basil hummus I had over the weekend, and realized I could totally tweak it and make it pizza like. I was so pleasantly surprised and I totally recommend whipping this up!
Pizza Hummus:
- 1 can organic chickpeas – rinsed, save half the liquid (about 1/4 cup)
- 1/4 tahini
- 1/4 cup tomato paste
- 2 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp basil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1-2 tablespoons nutritional yeast (i used 1 1/2)
- Juice from 1 small lemon
- large pinch of salt & pepper
- drizzle of olive oil
Toss everything in a food processor. While ingredients are blending, drizzle in olive oil, enough to get it smooth and flowing. Serve with fresh veggies or some whole grain pita chips.
Enjoy!
I love pizzafying recipes. Another pizza flavoured thing I like to make are pizza quiche. Pastry shell, filled with mushroom, oregano, pepperoni (omit if vegetarian), black olives, onion, tomato paste, cheese and beaten egg. Easy crowd pleaser.
That sounds so yummy!! Might have to try it
