I've got a Meyer lemon tree that's the gift that keeps on giving. One year we had maybe fifteen lemons. This year we've got dozens still after a season of sunshine.
What else to do with lemons, besides the twist for your martinis?
Hummus!
In your blender add: three diced cloves of garlic, three cups of drained garbanzo beans, 2/3 cup of tahini. Blend. Add 3/4 cup lemon juice, 1 tsp salt. Blend. Pour into container. Now add a teaspoon or two (to taste) of sesame oil. Mmmm. I like it best with Trader Joe's pita chips. I just can't get enough.

Go to a lemon bar for your martini.
ReplyDeleteMy Meyer lemons are in abundance too.
ReplyDeleteNo olive oil in the hummus?
At the last COFE gathering I was chasing people down the street with my bag of lemons. "Please, you must take some!" This sounds good. I'll go to the Armenian market for the rest of the ingredients.
ReplyDeleteLove hummus. You are all lucky. If our lemon tree produces one lemon a year, we dance.
ReplyDeleteheh heh heh, funny ,CO
ReplyDeleteNO olive oil, Susan!
COFE? MUST have more dtails, AH
M: Swing by anytime for a stockpile
You'll think I don't even know how to turn on an oven. I assure you I do. But what is tahini?
ReplyDeleteHiker, what is COFE?
Eeeks, Petrea, didn't see this note.
ReplyDeleteTahini is peanut butter, but instead of peanuts they use sesame seeds. So, sesame seed butter.
That's okay, there's never a hurry.
ReplyDeleteI love sesame seeds. I will love tahini.
