Chard Stalk Hummus
- 3 cups chard stalks, chopped
- 2/3 cup tahini
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 4 cloves garlic, smashed with the skins removed
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Steam the chard stalks using a steamer pot. Add about an inch of water to the base pot, bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to medium. Place chard in the steaming pot above and cover with a lid. Steam until the stalks are tender and soft, between 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- Combine cooked chard stalks, tahini, lemon juice, garlic and salt in a food processor. Process until a thick paste forms. Add 3 tablespoons of ice water, then continue processing until the dip is smooth and creamy. Transfer to a serving dish and refrigerate until ready to use. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil and pumpkin seeds, if desired. Serve with fresh pita and enjoy within a few days.
