Photography Credit: Elise Bauer The days are getting shorter, the zucchini beasts are slowing down production, and even the neighborhood kids are already headed back to school, signaling the looming end of summer. I created this recipe because I had too much basil left over from another recipe. It turned out fantastic and now it's on my list of favorites. You can substitute the tahini (roasted sesame paste) for almond butter, it will give it a nice, full nutty flavor.

This needs quite a bit of liquid added to this in order to get it to blend to the right smoothness.

I like the taste of the fresh basil, but this hummus needed some work.

Basil hummus 🌿 - I was fortunate enough to be invited recently to dinner at the table of a celebrity chef in Lebanon (and the region), Chef Richard. The dinner was to take place at Al Liwan, one of his restaurants in Beirut. In a food processor, fitted with the blade attachment, add the basil, garlic, tahini, chickpeas, salt, paprika, onion powder and black pepper. Lemon juice and fresh basil are my favorite ingredients to add to homemade hummus. Bright, flavorful, and reminiscent of summer. Before serving, I drizzle olive oil over top the hummus. If I have them on hand, I'll sprinkle toasted pine nuts and freshly chopped basil over top as well. Thank you and good luck
