Wild Hummus

 

Sheri's Wild Hummus from our Spring Fling!

1 clove garlic
1 can garbanzo beans, half the liquid reserved
4 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons tahini
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon sea salt  I like to do sea salt & Seaweed (Kelp or Dulse flakes)
black pepper to taste
2 cups of Lambs Quarter leaves or Chickweed, wild Onion, Yellowdock, Sorrel, or Dandelion (best when fresh or frozen) or any tasty edible Spring green
2 tablespoons olive oil

The Cast of Characters

Chickweed is such a delightful early Spring green.  It like cold weather and thrives in rich soils.  It feels velvety rich when it is at the peak of it’s green energy.  In the Summer it goes to seed but reseeds again in the Fall and can even be found under the snow!  Here is a patch in my compost bin!

In a blender, chop the garlic. Pour garbanzo beans into blender, reserving about a tablespoon for garnish. Place lemon juice, tahini, chopped garlic and salt and Lambs Quarter in blender. Blend until creamy and well mixed.

Transfer the mixture to a medium serving bowl. Sprinkle with pepper and pour olive oil over the top. Garnish with reserved garbanzo beans.

About Wild Blessings

Welcome to my website. My name is Holly Drake and I love to study, teach, and talk about wild foods. I live in the beautiful Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina with my husband Jason and my dog Max where I explore the beauty of God's creation to learn as much as I can about wild foods that are available to us for free.
