As my friends and family know, I love...absolutely adore...having company. With company, comes special time together for visiting and catching up on news, eating wonderful food, and often times a glass or two of wine is included. So, last weekend my mom went to the coast with her friends and I was able to talk my dad into heading the opposite direction and coming to stay with me for the weekend. It was wonderful to have that time together. Since I get my love of food from him I was excited to prepare some delicious and healthy dishes for us to enjoy together. The appetizer, Sun Dried Tomato Hummus, was fantastic and super easy to make. I served it with sliced red peppers, pickled asparagus, kalamata olives and crackers. Delicious! Oh and the Pinot Noir wasn't so bad either :)
1 15.5 oz can of chick peas, drained and rinsed
2 garlic cloves, crushed
6 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup sun dried tomatoes, diced
6 tablespoons olive oil
4 tablespoons Greek plain yogurt
Salt/pepper to taste
This is so simple. Just put all of the ingredients except the yogurt in a food processor and blend until fairly smooth. Then add the yogurt and process for a few seconds until well blended. Serve with red pepper strips, pita wedges, crackers, olives, or anything that sounds good for dipping. This can be stored for up to a week in an airtight container. Enjoy!
