the blending continues... garlic chive hummus!

if you’ll please excuse my absence these past couple of weeks, i can offer some exciting news as a consolation prize.
exciting piece of news #1: our blender still blends! sadly, i’ve learned in the past few days (the hard way) how not identical a blender is to a food processor. while i think the latter is superior (it is, after all, the renowned jamie oliver’s kitchen appliance of choice), the former still makes a few mean masterpieces. including this hummus! just a few dry ingredients, a dash of olive oil and water, and you have a delicious, healthy spread. of course, feel free to add in or leave out the chives, or adjust the cloves of garlic depending on your taste/desire for unpleasant breath. as a non-recovering garlic-aholic, i’d consider even upping the number of cloves from 3 to 4…
the second piece of thrilling news, you ask?! excellent question.
the second piece of most wonderfully thrilling news is that we are moving (aka upgrading!) to a new blogging platform! details to come on that front soon.
in the meantime, keep on blendin’!


ingredients:

400g can chickpeas, drained
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 medium clove garlics, peeled
