Flu Bustin' Hummus, Feed a Cold, Starve a Fever

My family is finally over the flu and what did I make to help kill off the last of the Influenza Virus? Flu Bustin' Hummus!

This recipe can be made at the volume suggested and then split into four tupperware-like containers, one for now, three to freeze or share, or you can divide the recipe to your liking prior to blending the batch.


It can be very spicy! With 20 cloves of garlic, I guarantee it will knock not only your nose askew, but those viruses as well!

20 cloves of Organic garlic
1 1/2 cups of Organic baby spinach
1/4 to 1/2 cup of extra virgin olive oil
4 cups of Organic chickpeas
1 cup of plain Organic Greek yogurt
2 freshly squeezed Organic lemons
4 tbls Organic tahini

Blend in batches and mix well together and then pour into the containers.

For some odd reason it looks like Dr. Seuss's Oobleck, but who cares, it is Duh-licious!

Hummus and Pakistani Lamb (Mutton) Stew

Peeled and de-seeded cucumbers, tahini, lime juice, strained yogurt, olive oil and chickpeas blended until smooth. Cool and refreshing, this hummus was a perfect accompaniment to the spicy Pakistani stew.
The stew was cubed lamb, diced de-seeded tomatoes, diced onions, yogurt, garlic powder, ginger, cracked peppercorns, whole cloves, black cardamon pods, cinnamon, cumin seeds, crushed coriander seeds, red chilies, salt, oil, and fresh cilantro. Served over basmati rice seasoned with cinnamon sticks, whole cloves, and green cardamon pods along with creamy garlic potatoes and spinach salad with onion cream dressing and naan.
