Raw Hummus version 2.0 - a do-over

There's nothing like going over your old recipes and re-doing them, only to have them turn out better in taste and health too.
I'll be doing a lot of this over the coming weeks and months, in an effort to eliminate two ingredients that have seemed to dominate my kitchen: Braggs Liquid Aminos, and Agave Nectar.

Here's a recent re-dux, involving my favorite lunchtime (or anytime) snack: "No-Chickpea" Hummus - The redux? No Walnuts, no Agave, no Braggs Liquid Aminos, and additional spices...and the change, to me, is HUGE in a good way.




And Just because it's pretty:
A super simple plate: Tomatoes topped with Zucchini Monsterella Cheeze and sprinkled with Sunflower Parm

"No Chickpea" Hummus version 2.0

1 & 1/2 C Cashews
1/2 C Sunflower seeds

2 tbsp raw Tahini
2-3 tbsp Apple Cidar Vinegar
2 tsp Garlic (to taste)
1 tbsp Lemon
Sea Salt (to taste)
1-3  tbsp Cumin (maybe more)
1 tbsp ground Fenugreek (optional - but it makes it sooooo good!)
2-3 tbsp Evoo (can sub with water)
1 tbsp dried or fresh Chives
1 tsp Onion Powder
2 tsp dried green Bell pepper (can sub with a couple dashes of Paprika)
 
1/2 (maybe a little more) C Water
 
Process all ingredients until smooth.
