Cashew Chickpea Spread or Dip

January 15, 2012 in Allgemein

Cashew cream and hummus, who doesn’t love those things? Especially when combined. I know this hardly counts as a recipe. But you should still try it, if you feel like doing what I tell you.

This spread is milder than your average hummus and it is richer. It’s creamy, sweet, and smoky. It’s perfect for everything except dessert. We used it as a topping for boiled potatoes, but it also makes a great sandwich spread or a wonderful dip for your vegetables.
