Equipment
1 Food Processor *optionally, use a high speed blender
1/4tspCayenne Pepper*optional - increase as needed
2TbspEVOO
1/2FreshLemon (or lime)
Instructions
When using prepared garlic scapes (roughly chopped), place them into the bowl of a food processor along with the oil and lemon or lime juice. Pulse until almost paste-like. You may need to scrape the sides of the bowl down and pulse several more times
When using garlic scape pesto as I’ve done, add all the ingredients EXCEPT the reserved liquid into the bowl of a food processor
Pulse the processor or run until all the ingredients are well blended and the mixture is smooth
Should it be necessary to thin your hummus, with the processor running drizzle the reserved liquid a bit at a time into the bowl until the desired consistency is reached
Add salt and pepper to taste
Drizzle EVOO along with any desired herbs (chives, garlic scapes, or dill) on top when serving
Notes
Increase the amounts up or down to your desired taste. Too garlicky? Add fewer scapes or less garlic scape pesto. Too spicy? Omit the cayenne. Prefer cumin? add it.
