Basil Hummus

The days are getting shorter, the zucchini beasts are slowing down production, and even the neighborhood kids are already headed back to school, signaling the looming end of summer. Our basil plants however, don't seem to notice that their days are numbered. This is high season for them, and they've made quite the of their garden beds.

I've been dreaming about this basil hummus for weeks now. It sort of makes sense, doesn't it? Like a cross between hummus and pesto. The basil and the pine nuts take the place of the tahini in the hummus. A little tomato paste adds a touch of sweetness and the Tabasco just a little zest. This was a hit with everyone who tried it, so I hope you like it too.
