Yummy Hummy!

Hi friends! I'm back after a long break from the blog. Sorry to keep you waiting but here is a recipe that I can guarantee you will love! My mommy, sister, and I are obsessed with hummus. Needless to say we have been working on perfecting our own Mertins Family Recipe and are a little bit snobby when it comes to the store bought brands (we love sabra). We also love edamame so, this recipe is for an edamame hummus that we have lovingly named Yummy Hummy.

Yummy Hummy

Ingredients:
1.5 cups drained chick peas (save 1/2 cup of the juice)
1 cup peeled edamame
1/2 cup tahini paste
1/4 cup olive oil (I used light olive oil)
2 garlic cloves
1 tbsp ground cumin
Juice of 1 lemon
chopped fresh parsley
salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:
1. Drain the chick peas in a strainer with a bowl underneath to catch the juice.
2. If your edamame are in their shells, pop the seeds out of the casing.
3. Combine all ingredients in a food processer and puree until smooth.
4. Add salt and pepper to taste.
5. Serve with pita chips and carrots and enjoy!
