Culinary Corner: Hummus Board

A great way to serve a crowd in a unique way is by making a hummus board! Whip up a batch of silky homemade hummus, spread it on a board and top with sautéd mushrooms and herbs. Lay some dippers like carrots, bell peppers, celery, pita, crackers etc. for some fun dipping! 

Hummus:

1 can chic peas, rinsed and drained

2 tablespoons tahini

2 tablespoons olive oil

The juice of one lemon

1 teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon black pepper

2 cloves garlic

2 tablespoons water, if necessary

Place all the ingredients besides the water in a high speed blender. Blend for about five minutes or until smooth. For a thinner consistency add one table of water at a time until desired consistency is achieved.

Toppings:

Sautéd mushrooms

Fresh parsley or thyme 

Flaky salt

High quality olive oil
