Acorn Hummus
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup acorn flour
- 1/2 cup organic olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 3 pitted dates
- 2 medium lemons, juiced
- 1/2 cup of organic tahini
- Pinch cayenne pepper
- Pinch sea salt
Preparation
To make acorn flour: Open acorns with a nutcracker and remove nut meat. Dry acorns by placing them in a single layer on a baking sheet and putting in a low-temperature oven. Rub dried acorns with hands to remove skin, allowing a breeze or fan to blow away the skin. Grind the acorn meat in a blender.
To remove tannic acid that can make acorns bitter, put a quarter of the ground nut meat into a 1.2 gallon glass jar, fill the jar with water and let it sit for 3 days. Strain half the water, refill the jar, and repeat the process until the water is almost clear.
To make hummus: Combine all ingredients in a blender jar and process until smooth. Serve with crackers and raw veggies.
