Yummy this is sooo delicious recipes. Garlic Hummus Apple-Sage Tartine recipes I found at http://kblog.lunchboxbunch.com/ and it's fantastic. This snack provides fiber from the beans and apple, iron from the beans, protein, vitamins like vitamin C and B vitamins, healthy fats from the olive oil and more. Use a sprouted grain bread for some whole grain goodness. Or GF bread to make this a gluten-free snack. I hope you like it.
Ingredients:
Easy Warm Garlic Hummus
- 2 15oz. cans of organic chickpeas
- 2 Tbsp lemon juice or 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 cloves roasted garlic or 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 3 Tbsp tahini
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black peppercorns
- 1/3 tsp salt or to taste
For the tartines:
- 1 apple, sliced
- 2 toasted slices of bread
- 2 sage leaves (fresh)
- extra virgin olive oil or pumpkinseed oil for drizzling
serve with: raw almonds
Directions:
Tip! For an extra crisp apple, place your apple in the freezer for 2-3 minutes before slicing!
- Hummus: Drain liquid from cans and rinse the chickpeas in warm to hot tap water. Rinse in a strainer, until the bubbles from the beans stop forming. The warm water should soften and heat the beans a bit. Add the beans, tahini, lemon, garlic, olive oil and pepper to a high speed blender or food processor. Blend on low and keep blending until smoothed, but do not over-blend! (However if you blender is low in powder or you just want a thinner consistency, you can add more oil, lemon juice OR simply add a splash of water.) Ideally, you want the hummus to be slightly chunky and thick so that it spreads on the bread. Taste the blend and add salt to taste. About 1/3 tsp for me. Pour the hummus into a container. Use about 3 Tbsp per tartine and serve extra hummus on the side for dipping extra apple slices if you'd like.
- The rest is easy! Toast bread, slice apple. Spread hummus. Add apple. Pinch fresh sage overtop and drizzle the oil. Tip: If fresh sage is too strong for you, toast thick bots of sage with a few drops of oil in a pan for a minute or two. Toasted sage is quite wonderful.
- Serve with raw almonds and slice tartine if desired. Red pepper flakes are another topping if you like a spicy kick.
