Rutabaga Hummus

Recipe adapted by Lisa Turan from Emma Frisch
Even those who say they don’t like hummus are pleasantly surprised!

Ingredients:

  • Extra Virgin Olive oil – 2 tablespoons
  • Rutabaga – 3 cups rough chopped
  • 1 can organic garbanzo beans
  • Carrots – 1 cup rough chopped
  • Tahini – 1/4 cup tahini (optional)
  • Garlic – 2 tablespoons chopped
  • Fresh Lemon juice – 2 tablespoons
  • White miso – Optional: 1 tablespoon
  • Extra Virgin Olive oil – 2 tablespoons

For Garnish

  • Sesame seeds – 1 teaspoon, toasted
  • Red pepper flakes – 1 teaspoon
  • Sea salt – 1 teaspoon
  1. Fill a medium pot with water and salt it generously. Taste the water – it should taste like the ocean.  Add the rutabaga and carrots, and bring to a boil until fork-tender-about 10-15 minutes.
  2. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the vegetables from the pot to a food processor. Set the broth aside and use to thin the hummus if needed. You can save (will freeze just fine) to make homemade soup.
  3. Add the tahini, garlic, lemon juice and miso to the food processor. Puree.
  4. While blending, slowly pour olive oil in until you have a smooth consistency. If the hummus is too thick, add a tablespoon of the vegetable broth at a time.
  5. Garnish with a small swirl of olive oil and sesame seeds, red pepper flakes and sea salt.
