CURRIED CASHEW HUMMUS


I have vegetarian children who like hummus so I created this one with cashews instead of tahini because I usually have them on hand and never have tahini.  I always make a double batch when they come because they love it and so do I.   It has just a touch of curry and thus a very creamy mellow taste.  It is super simple.

1.  Grate 1 clove of garlic in a little frying pan with 1 T. olive oil until it starts to brown just a little. 

2.  Drain about half the water from a can of garbanzo beans.  Put it into a food processor  or blender.   You might need more of the liquid depending on the brand.  Walmart's brand has lots of beans and I use all but about 1 T. of the liquid.  

3.  Add the garlic with the oil, 1/4-1/2 tsp. curry powder to taste and 1/2 C. of salted cashews and some generous grates of black pepper.   Blend until smooth.

4.  Put into a bowl with some drizzles of olive oil and some celery leaves chopped fine if desired.   Serve with chips, crackers or veggies.
