{recipe} Veggie Rolls with Black-Eyed Pea Hummus

This recipe was gifted to us via the beautiful life of Anna Sinclair Tipps. It contains one cooked ingredient and would be a WONDERFUL recipe in the transition toward raw food, or for those folks who simply prefer “high raw”. If you want to keep it all raw, a good raw substitute might be soaked sunflower seeds. Either way, I hope you will give it a try and enjoy the fun description of Anna’s family camping style!

We went camping last week with the kids and had an amazing time. It was relaxing, rejuvinating and just plain fun. Our form of camping is slightly less primitive than the average Joe-camp-guy. We have a lovely trailer fully outfitted with kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, and most-importantly, air-conditioning. Well, at least we park it in a campground.

My extra time was spent outside, under the trees enjoying the sights and sounds of the birds and river, and the smells of the Texas hill country. So sweet.

We like to eat a little lighter on these trips so I’m always experimenting with greens, fruits and vegetables in fun unique ways. Charlie and I ate a lot of what I’d call “spinach bowls” which we enjoyed very much (more on those later). But today I wanted to share a different recipe with you. It’s one I find very versatile as it serves as a dip, spread, and filling for a wrap. It’s a Black-Eyed Pea Hummus with garlic and turmeric – both very good for fighting cancer. In the wrap (pictured) I added grated zucchini, carrots, sweet onion slices, and sprouts – I never can get enough sprouts (love ‘em). I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

INGREDIENTS
2 C cooked black-eyed peas
3 T minced chives
¼ C tahini (sesame butter)
1 tsp. garlic powder
¼ tsp. paprika
¼ tsp turmeric
juice of half a lime
sea salt and pepper to taste
a little water, as needed

INSTRUCTIONS
Combine all ingredients in a food processor and blend until smoothe.

…and before you ask, yes, I do take my food processor and spices with me camping. What kind of vacation would it be if I didn’t?!!

A FEW CANCER FIGHTING PROPERTIES
Turmeric, when complimented with black pepper, garlic, and onion are some of the hardest working cancer fighters in the vegetable kingdom. Each one has strong immune boosting and antibacterial properties. Turmeric is also used to regulate blood sugar. All this and they add a tasty PUNCH to foods too!
