CHARD STALK, CHICKPEA, TAHINI AND YOGURT DIP



Chard Stalk, Chickpea, Tahini and Yogurt Dip image

When you've bought a bunch of Swiss chard and used the leaves for another dish, like an oven-baked frittata with yogurt, Swiss chard and green garlic, save the stems. Then you can make this dip, which is a cross between hummus and classic Middle Eastern dip called silqbiltahina, made with chard stalks and tahini. I've added lots of yogurt to the mix. I love to use some red chard stalks because they give the dip a beautiful pale pink hue. This will keep for 3 or 4 days in the refrigerator. It will become more pungent as it sits.

Yield Makes about 3 cups, serving 10 to 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 pound Swiss chard stalks, sliced (about 2 1/2 cups)
Salt to taste
2 to 4 garlic cloves (to taste), peeled, green shoots removed
1 can chickpeas (or 1 1/2 cups cooked chickpeas), drained and rinsed

1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice, to taste
1/2 teaspoon lightly toasted cumin seeds, ground
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

With machine running, add lemon juice, olive oil and salt to taste. Stop machine, taste and adjust seasonings.
