HUNGRY, HUNGRY ARTICHOKE HUMMUS

Steps:

• Put all of the ingredients except for the chickpeas in a blender.
• Using a potato masher or a fork, thoroughly mash the chickpeas. Transfer to the blender. Puree until smooth, stopping and stirring if blending slows.
• For best flavor, refrigerate the hummus for several hours. Before serving, garnish with a sprinkle each of paprika and parsley flakes, if you like.

ARTICHOKE-LEMON HUMMUS

Steps:

• Chop 1/4 cup artichoke hearts and set aside for garnish.
• Combine lemon juice and water in small bowl or measuring cup.
• Whisk together tahini and 2 tablespoons olive oil in second small bowl or measuring cup.
• Process chickpeas, remaining 3/4 cup artichokes, garlic, salt, cumin, cayenne, and lemon zest (1/4 teaspoon) in food processor until almost fully ground, about 15 seconds. Scrape down bowl with rubber spatula.

ARTICHOKE CHICKPEA HUMMUS

Steps:

• Blend everything together in food processor. Allow to sit in refrigerator for a few hours to blend flavours.
• Note - I used water instead of broth, so I added about 1/2 tsp of McCormick no salt herb seasoning. Also, fresh parsley would work great.

ARTICHOKE SPINACH HUMMUS

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients except for spinach in food processor or blender until smooth.
• Stir finely chopped spinach into mixture.
• This will thicken after refrigeration, and is good for at least 2 weeks in the refrigerator (I've never had any last beyond then!).
• I serve with reduced-fat Triscuits for a high fiber lunch.

PEA & ARTICHOKE HUMMUS

Steps:

• Tip the peas into a bowl and pour over boiling water to cover. Leave for 5 mins, then drain well and tip into a food processor with all the other ingredients and seasoning. Pulse to make a rough purée, then spoon into a small bowl. Cover with cling film, and chill until ready to serve.
