I have tried so many recipes for a hummus and this is by far the best and do I dare say better than the Mediterranean one I was buying before? Note that there are two sets of ingredients, this is for when you have guests or for yourself if you like your food to look 'pretty'.

Ingredients for base:
1 zuchinni, peeled and chopped
cup raw tahini (make sure you like your tahini because I've bought some icky tasting ones)
cup fresh lime or lemon juice
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoons celtic sea salt
tablespoon ground cumin (I like using seeds-more flavorful)
small handful of pine nuts (soaked)
parsley

Ingredients for top:
little bit of cold pressed olive oil
cayenne to liking (optional)
About a dozen pine nuts
T Italian seasoning

For the pretty version:
Put everything in your food processor from the ingredients list (You can add some olive oil if desired). Put your hummus into the dish you are going to be serving it in. Sprinkle your italian seasoning ontop, then press into the hummus the last of your pine nuts. Sprinkle cayenne if you like it spicy. Now top that with the olive oil, enough to put a thin layer. Leave it for your guests to mix it all together and enjoy!

The other option:
Put everything but a dozen pine nuts into your food processor (You can add some olive oil if desired). Put your hummus into your container and add the pine nuts and enjoy!

I recommend trying it the pretty way at least once. I think it's fun to have the toppings on there and then I can mix it all myself. Let me know if you try it!
