Recipe Reduction 123...122

Whipped Chickpea Hummus

Points in favor
- Proves you can make hummus without tahini
- Low in calories and could have been lower with no loss of taste
- Supremely nutritious
- Glues loose veggies into a pita bread

Points against
- Green
- Very green
- Scary

If you can get over calling a bright green paste "hummus," you may like it.  But don't try to mix it in a blender! A food processor would have done the job in less time than it takes to wash the blade. Recipe here: https://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/001393.html


Veggie pitas

Not really something you need a recipe for--cut a pita in half, open up the pocket, spread with something gooey and shove chopped veggies in.  The only reason I saved the recipe for so long is that I couldn't find any pita breads at the grocery store. I'll give you a hint: they're not in the bread aisle.

Forgot to take a picture, so I'll describe: picture a pita half crammed with bright green hummus, lettuce, tomato, olives and shredded carrots. Some banana pepper rings would be good, too. Or a pizza.

But now it's just a fond memory.

Except for the crumbs in my lap.
