Simple Hummus Recipe
By myarticlenetwork | January 31, 2010
Assuming you already know how to grow sprouts, here is a fast, easy (and awesome) hummus recipe using your sprouted garbanzo beans or lentils! The growing sprouts will start to sprout little tails and as soon as the tails are half an inch long they are ready to eat. There is nothing wrong with letting them grow longer, but some people prefer the taste when the tails are small.
The hummus recipe is quite simple and can be prepared in minutes:
– Place at least 2 cups of sprouted garbanzo beans in a food processor and puree until smooth
– Add 1 tsp of lemon juice, preferably freshly squeezed
– One onion chopped finely
– One bell pepper sliced finely and cut in half inch lengths
– Fresh cracked pepper to taste
*Optional – your favorite herbal seasoning to taste
You can serve the hummus in many different ways; as a spread for sandwiches or toast or as a dip with corn chips or flaxseed crackers. Take this hummus to a potluck and just watch how fast it disappears…. You can of course make more than just this hummus recipe with your sprouted beans. They can be lightly steamed and used to replace refried beans in nachos, burritos, tacos, or any other food that usually includes refried beans. You can also use sprouted lentils to make a really simple soup. You use low temperature to maintain the nutrients in your sprouts and add a few slices of carrot, celery and some herb or seasoning.
Growing sprouts to use for your hummus recipe is simple (if you use the right sprouter and technique), and so is preparing them! Once you have used sprouted food recipes for a while, average preparation time can be half that of regular meals.
Using sprouted beans to make your hummus involves a little more planning up front to have sprouted beans ready when you want to make your hummus. The extra effort is more than worth it, as sprouting increases vitmain content and ensures there are no digestive enzyme inhibitors, permitting the nutrients to be more readily absorbed by the body. So you get a great tasting, simple hummus recipe that is good for you! To make sprouting so much easier, use the Marche Method as you will not need to rinse your sprouts daily. Enjoy your sprouting (and eating)!
