SO HOW'D IT GO?
I have an overabundance of mountain spinach (red orick) and kale in my garden so I used those instead of regular spinach. Well, it turned out pretty good actually- I think it had too much lemon because of the bitterness of the kale, so next time I will sub some lemon juice for water if I make it like this again. Also, added a handful of cumin seeds and parsley. I wouldnt overeat it like I do chickpea hummus (which may be a good thing!?!) and it would be as a sandwich spread.
Plan to try ASAP...thanks and will post thoughts soon!
cant wait to try this!!
I loveeeeddd this recipe! I had my doubts as to how it would taste, to be truthful, but in the end it exceeded even store-bought standard hummus. Bravo!
