HUMMUS WITH ARTICHOKES
The base hummus recipe is one of my favorite recipes from Mark Bittman's, How To Cook Everything. One day I realized that I didn't have enough olive oil so used the oil from a jar of marinated artichoke hearts. My husband loved it so the next time I added some artichoke as well as the oil to the recipe. We like this combination and hope others do as well! This is excellent with crostini.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh artichokes. If you can't find fresh artichokes, you can use frozen or canned artichokes, but the flavor will be slightly less intense.
- Make sure to cook the artichokes until they are soft. You can do this by boiling them, steaming them, or roasting them.
- Use a good quality hummus as the base for your dip. You can find hummus in most grocery stores, or you can make your own.
- Add plenty of lemon zest and juice to the dip. This will brighten up the flavor and make the dip more refreshing.
- Season the dip to taste with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Serve the dip with pita chips, crackers, or vegetables.
