In honor of today's Blog Hop, I'm re-publishing two of my favorite and most requested recipes which I love to have at parties and get-togethers!!
Hummus (inspired by my mother-in-law Jan!)
2 cups drained, cooked chickpeas
1/4 cup tahini (sesame seed sauce)
1 onion, diced
2 umeboshi plums
1 Tbs. chopped scallions
1/3 cup sauerkraut juice from a can or spring water
Grind the cooked chickpeas in a sruibachi, blender or food processor (food processor works best!)
Add the rest of the ingredients listed above except for scallions and mix well
Remove from suribachi / blender / processor and stir in the scallions by hand
Serve with pita bread, sourdough bread pieces, crackers or raw veggies
**You could add one or two cloves of garlic, or other spices to taste, but this is really just perfect as is!
Homemade Pizza (inspired by Kevin, our friend)
CRUST:
2 Tsp yeast
300 mL warm water
1 L plain flour
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
Mix first two ingredients in a small bowl
In a separate bowl, mix remaining three ingredients
Mix 2 bowls together and knead into ball shape
Cover the dough with a towel and place in dry place to rise for 2 1/2 to 3 hours
TOPPINGS & BAKING:
Once the dough has risen and is ready to work with, roll out your crust to desired thickness. We like really thin crust which then only takes 5-7 minutes to bake.
Add your preferred sauce--olive oil sauce, red sauce, white sauce
Add cheese and meat / veggies--anything that sounds appetizing to you!
Bake for 5-7 minutes for thin crust, 7-9 minutes for medium, 9-11 minutes for thick crust in an oven at 400
This is a great meal to have with friends because you can talk while making your pizzas and then everyone can try eachothers creations :)
