Date: November 06, 2006 10:04PM Yup!! On this site - go to recipes - go to Dressings and Sauces and you will find a recipe for no bean hummus. It's made with zucchini. Also, you can use the exact recipe, only substitute 2 cups of sprouted chickpeas for the zucchini.There's a little bit of a trick to using the chickpeas. They should only be sprouted for one day - tiny, tiny little tails. Then, put them in a food processor and twirl them around for a little bit and get them broken up. Rinse them in a collender till the water becomes clear and then go on with the recipe. This keeps them from being super bitter and icky. Good luck!

thanks for the sprouted chickpea tip, I'll try that soon. I normally use fresh chickpeas when making hummus (and other chickpea things), these are not bitter at all. Cheers, Ian. Re: Hummus

Date: November 07, 2006 05:35PM I get them in farmers markets in California around spring and summer, they come both loose and pre-packaged. Hispanic, middle-eastern and indian markets/shops may also be a good place to look. You want to buy the ones with the greenist shell, as the shell get paler, the bean gets more starchy and a little bitter (not as much as sprouted chickpeas however).
