Chickpea Rosemary Dip

Submitted by dicentra

"This is incredibly good and very versatile. Use as a dip for crackers, celery, zucchini or cauliflower. OR as a spread for a tortilla wrap with spinach leaves and sliced chicken breast. It is probably very tasty tossed with hot pasta as a pasta sauce too. YUM!"

This was great! It tastes really wonderful. The only things I did differently was I added just a touch of cumin to give it a bit of a smokey background. I aslo added a bit of the juice from the canned chickpeas in addition to using olive oil. I always do this with my hummus as it doesn't tend to seperate as much once stored in the fridge. I probably added a bit less than 1/4 cup. Thanks for the recipe!!

If you like the RED PEPPER HUMMUS that is sold in the grocery store/specialty item, then you'll like this recipe! I think I used too much fresh rosemary and would adjust it to a mere 3 inch section of leaves instead of 4 whole sprigs. This recipe makes a lot of dip, so it's a good value.
