My aunt made this at dinner the other night. She got it from Chatelaine magazine. Note: The recipe calls for store bought hummus as an ingredient but you could surely use your own home made hummus instead. Ingredients:
1 medium sweet potato |
1 cup hummus |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
1 green onion, sliced |
Directions:
1. Pierce potato with a fork, then place in microwave on a piece of paper towel.
2. Microwave on high until very soft, 4 to 6 minutes.
3. When cool enough to handle, cut in half.
4. Using a spoon, scrape flesh into a bowl.
5. Mash with a fork until smooth.
6. Stir in hummus, garlic and cumin.
7. Taste and add salt and pepper, if needed.
8. Spoon into a serving bowl and sprinkle with onion.
9. Dip will keep well, covered and refrigerated, up to 2 days.
10. Sprinkle with onion just before serving.
11. Excellent with celery sticks, toasted pita triangles or bread sticks.
