I am still on a crusade to use a lot of my bumper crop basil. This is very good. It makes about 3 cups. It is good with raw vegetables, pita chips, corn chips, crackers and bread rounds.
BASIL HUMMUS
In a small frying pan put 3 T. olive oil and 2 cloves of grated garlic with 1/4 C pinenuts. Stir and fry until starting to brown a little. Add 1 tomato peeled and chopped. Stir and cook for 3 minutes. In a blender or food processor place 1 - 15 oz. can of drained garbanzo beans and one can of drained white beans, 1 cup of basil leaves lightly packed, 1/4 C Parmesan cheese (optional), 10 good grates of fresh pepper, a little cayenne or hot sauce if desired, and 2 T lemon juice. Add the garlic mixture and blend until smooth. Add salt if it needs it and a little water if it is too thick. ENJOY!
This recipe came from here But I changed it a lot.
