I’m a big hummus person — I put it on everything (it’s almost like my ketchup!). I didn’t want to write a cookbook without a hummus recipe, so I thought of using quinoa to make a kosher l’Pesach version. I was so excited by the idea that I invited some foodie friends to taste-test as I played around with numerous batches and versions to create the perfect Pesach “hummus.” Here’s the version that we all voted the best.

Ingredients

Quinoa Hummus

  • 1 cup cooked quinoa (see note)

  • 1/2 cup pine nuts

  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed or 2 cubes Gefen Frozen Garlic

  • juice of 1 lemon (2–3 tablespoons)

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Garnish

  • paprika

Directions

Prepare the Quinoa Hummus

1.

Place quinoa and pine nuts into the bowl of a food processor fitted with the “S” blade. Process until just blended.

2.

Add remaining ingredients; continue to blend. Scrape down the sides and blend again, for approximately 30 seconds. Do not over-blend or the mixture will become gummy.

3.

Transfer to a serving bowl. Garnish with olive oil and chopped parsley; sprinkle with paprika.

Tips:

One cup uncooked quinoa prepared according to package directions will yield at least two cups cooked quinoa.

Notes:

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
