Fresh Herb and Flower Hummus


You read right FLOWER Hummus. I picked up some edible flowers at the market on Saturday, and instead of making all of them into salad, I decided to make some of them into hummus! Different flowers have different flavors. For this hummus I used spicy flowers (usually orange, but ask your vendor, In my experience, they give fantastic advice and recommendations) and chive flowers (that taste onion-y).

Here's the recipe:

3 cloves garlic
4 chive flowers
7 pansies
other spicy flowers as desired
1/4 cup fresh basil
2 tbsp fresh oregano leaves
1/4 cup tahini
2 cups chickpeas
3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp salt
5 tbsp water

First process garlic. add herbs and flowers and process again. add other ingredients. put into a bowl and decorate with flowers. Serve with crackers, pita and veggies! Enjoy! :)
