A quick little treat that I made as an afternoon snack before hitting the gym
It was delicious – dipped carrots and celery in (and maybe possibly a finger)
Here are the ingredients you will need to make a big batch 🙂
- 1/4 cup pine nuts
- 2 cups sweet basil leaves, packed
- 3 cloves garlic, smashed then minced
- 2 15-ounce cans garbanzo beans (chickpeas), rinsed and drained*
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Up to 1/4 cup water
- 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 1/2 to 2 teaspoons salt
- Several dashes Tabasco
- 1 teaspoon tomato paste
Blitz them all together using a handheld blender or in a blender and voila – a delicious afternoon treat
To make it go an incredible green colour – really go nuts with the basil leaves – unfortunately didn’t quite have enough in the house – but still tasted incredible
