SPICY VEGETABLE HUMMUS

Spicy Vegetable Hummus image

I concocted this hummus the other day from a combination of garlic hummus recipes here on Zaar. Since I found it kinda bland, I added a few more spices and the vegetables. I used about a 1/2 cup of vegetables in total. You can really use any combination of vegetables that you want: red pepper, red onion, and celery would also be good!

Ingredients

1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 cup tahini
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/4 cup fat-free ricotta cheese or 1/4 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons green onions, minced
2 tablespoons green peppers, minced
2 tablespoons carrots, chopped finely
1 tablespoon cucumber, chopped finely
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped finely
black pepper
red pepper flakes

Steps:

In a medium bowl, mash the garbanzo beans to your desired texture with a potato masher. A fork would also work.
Add lemon juice, tahini, sesame oil, and ricotta. Mix well.
Combine garlic, spices, and vegetables with hummus mixture (you may want a bit more or less of each of these depending on your tastes).
Add black and red pepper to taste.
Serve with pita and fresh vegetables. This is a great veggie dip!
