Thread Name: Catspaw Heart Healthy Cookbook...
Subject: RE: Catspaw Heart Healthy Cookbook...
Okay, I fed this to Little Hawk for lunch, and he almost had a heart attack. So, according to the principles of homeopathy, it should be good prevention or cure for heart attacks in subsceptible (sp?) individuals. (j/k, ok?)

WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THIS CONTAINS RAW GARLIC - LOTS OF IT!!!!!!!

Chagall's Garden Garlic Hummous

2 cans chick peas or garbanzo beans, 1/2 can of the water that comes with it. Drain the rest of the water away.
Lots of fresh or dried parsley
dill (1 tsp dill pickle water is best instead of dried dill. Use a little less lemon if so. Fresh dill is good, too.)
A medium amount of thyme, summer savoury, paprika, oregano,
A small amount of cayenne and garam masala.
A couple dashes of chili.
1 tsp to 1 tbsp lemon juice. Fresh is best, but realemon is ok. SIX OR MORE CLOVES RAW GARLIC, as much as you can stand.
One baby onion, raw.

Blend all together. You should be able to taste the chick peas, GARLIC, lemon and dill, predominantly. (Don't add salt unless you really need it afterwards, the other flavours should make up for it.)

Optionally, after the rest is all blended, add minced celery, red pepper, or chives.
Garnish with fresh parsley or sesame seeds or both.
Serve as a dip or spread, with flatbread, veggies, or whole grain bread. (White bread isn't really robust enough to handle this stuff.)

Have fun serving it to innocent guests and family members! }:)
