Spicy Garlic Scape Hummus

I may be going overboard with the garlic scapes. But when they are bountiful why not. They are only here for a short while.

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons of tahini

1 tablespoon of olive oil

1 1/2 cup white beans (cannellini), reduced sodium (rinsed and drained)

1/2 cup chopped garlic scapes & the immature bulbs (optimal)

1 tablespoon of dried Italian seasoning blend

1/2 of a lemon juiced and the zest

1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt

Directions: 

Place all the ingredients into the food processor and pulse until smooth.

 

Special notes: 

I recommend letting this hummus marry overnight in the refrigerator. The scapes can make the hummus spicy at first after the ingredients marry overnight the heat decreases.

 

This hummus goes well with pita chips, crackers, on tortillas with some extra fresh cut vegetables like kohlrabi, English cucumber, and carrots.
