Tonight was Girl Friends Night Out at church. This is the fall kick-off for women’s ministries. We were given an overview of each class offered and a short devotional was given on Walking By Faith. Of course, food is a vital part of women’s ministries! I tried a recipe of a hummus that we ate in Phoenix last week. It was all a guestament since I was just going by taste!
Drain beans and artichokes and place in food processor. Add 1/3 c. tahini, 2 garlic cloves and salt and pepper.
Process mixture, stopping to scrape sides several times. Add 1/3 c. olive oil, juice of one lemon and 1/2 t. grated lemon peel. Puree until smooth.
Top with 1/4 c. chopped red pepper, paprika and feta cheese.
Drizzle 1-2 T. olive oil over top and serve with fresh veggies and pita bread cut into wedges.
Ron was pumped that I brought home a few scrapings…he promptly finished it off.

This sounds mediterranean, and something we would eat. Thank you for sharing! We love hummus and it almost daily. I had started making it years ago and stopped. maybe i need to make it again.

This sounds great – I just wish I had gotten some artichokes out of the garden this year! Thanks for linking up to Simple Lives Thursday.
Did you try the hummus at Switch?
i just had it this week and so googled a recipe 
I think I’m making it tonight!
PS Do you by any chance go to NPBC?
Where is Switch? My favorite hummus is at True Food in Scottsdale. When we are in Phoenix (in the winter) we attend Scottsdale Bible church. Thanks for stopping by! Do you have a blog?
