"I don't like hummus," Alessandra said repeatedly during preparations, with Vivien echoing her. Sigh. The blender did not quite cut it for this one. The first step is to grind raw cashews in a food processor, a gadget I lack. I got by with the blender, but had to settle for a somewhat chunky hummus, despite many minutes of blending peppered with intermittent pauses to scrape sides. Some other key ingredients included chickpeas, tahini, flax oil, and nutritional yeast. Alessandra happily learned how to use a vegetable peeler and made carrot sticks to go with the
Kids' Dynamo Hummus. We also smeared some olive oil and paprika on pita wedges and broiled to make pita crisps. They loved the hummus and agreed with me that hummus could have many different tastes depending on how it is made.
