Royal Wedding Party

.
By Ruby at Cara Mia Products

I got a last minute invite to a Royal Wedding Party.  I decided to whip up some homemade Hummus.  Hummus is high in protein and low in fat making it a healthy choice for a dip.  The great thing about making Hummus is you can always toss in different ingredients to give it a different flavor.  My take on Hummus today, Cara Mia Artichokes and Sun Dried tomatoes!

Here is the recipe:

    1 teaspoon crushed garlic
    1 15oz can chickpeas, drained
    1/3 cup tahini (sesame paste)
    6 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (2 lemons) 
    1 6.5 oz. jar of Cara Mia Marinated Artichokes
    1 tablespoon Cara Mia Sun Dried tomatoes
    1 tablespoons water
     Olives and Spinach for garnish

   
Directions

Turn on the food processor fitted with the steel blade add the rest of the ingredients to the food processor and process until the hummus is coarsely pureed. Taste, for seasoning, garnish and serve chilled or at room temperature with vegetables, crackers or pita.

About Me

Cara Mia
Cara Mia brand was started by an artichoke grower co-op in 1955, in the “artichoke capital” of the world, Castroville, CA. The co-op opened as a freezer operator with the intent of providing consumers another means to enjoy the edible thistle all year around. The venture proved so successful that a marinating line was added in 1958. Soon sales of the marinated produce far surpassed the frozen line as consumers enjoyed the proprietary marinade that dressed the tender leaves. The Borges Group acquired Cara Mia and its proprietary spice mix/marinade recipe in 2001. Today Cara Mia is the #1 selling brand of marinated artichokes. Look for them, and the other Cara Mia marinated vegetable items, in the Produce Dept.
