    It’s gluten-free, vegetarian, festive, and requires no cooking. It's a fool-proof holiday hit! Are you  happy?

    Our Cranberry Hummus follows the same concept as the classic gluten-free Levantine cuisine dip or spread prepared with garbanzo beans.

    We mde it with canned chickpeas, tahini (sesame seed) paste, seasonings, sugar, garlic, and olive oil.

    The addition of canned cranberry sauce and use of Holland House Marsala Cooking Wine instead of lemon juice are a couple of flavor-boosting twists on the classic recipe!

    The appetizer is garnished with frozen cranberries and fresh herbs to give the dip a warm holiday touch...

    ...while adding a sweet-sour flavor that contrasts so well with the savory taste of the hummus.

    All ingredients are available at many local supermarkets near you, including Holland House Marsala Cooking Wine...

    ... which, by the way, has a smooth, well-rounded, sweet wine taste with a hint of hazelnut that is versatile and ideal for cooking beef, chicken and pork.

    Holland House Marsala Cooking Wine

    For a flavor-boost, add two tablespoons of Marsala cooking wine to your fave meat dish for some great flavor.

    In fact, Holland House Cooking Wines are available in five versatile and flavor-boosting varieties – Marsala, Sherry, White, Red and White with Lemon.

    Each provides extra zing for a variety of daily dishes, such as slow cooker and vegetarian dishes, soups, and cold-weather faves, as the flavors hold up in high heat.

    And what's more, they easily deliver a greatl boost of flavor to comforting holiday recipes, giving any dish an instant upgrade.

    Cost 0.50 per person

    Ingredients

    • 2 cups canned chickpeas or garbanzo beans, drained
    • 1 cup cranberry sauce
    • 2 teaspoon tahini paste (optional)
    • 2 garlic clove
    • 1 ½ teaspoon salt
    • ¾ teaspoon ground black pepper
    • ½ teaspoon sugar
    • ¼ cup Holland House Marsala Cooking Wine
    • ¼ cup olive oil (plus extra to drizzle on top)
    • 2 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped

    Instructions

    • Place all ingredients (but only 1 teaspoon of the rosemary) in a blender. Blend all until creamy and smooth. If necessary, add additional 1-2 tablespoons Marsala Wine to help blend mixture more easily. 
    • Then, spoon mixture into a serving bowl, drizzle a bit of olive oil on top, and sprinkle on remaining 1 teaspoon chopped rosemary. 
    • Serve with pita chips and crudité  vegetables such as celery stalks and sweet peppers. Enjoy!

    Recipe Notes

    • Storage: Store hummus in a clean airtight container for up to 3 days in the refrigerator, or up to 6 months in the freezer. Don't let hummus sit more than 3-4 hours at room temperature. 
    • Leftovers can be used as a spread for sandwiches and roll ups, or as a filling for savory pastries.  
    • Hummus is a popular Middle Eastern dip/spread that is packed with vitamins and minerals. It is traditionally made with chickpeas, olive oil, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, salt, and pepper. But our homemade holiday hummus replaces lemon juice with Marsala wine and adds canned cranberry sauce to the recipe. 
    • For sugared cranberries as an optional garnish, see recipe above (in the body of the post).

      I've made a hummus with cranberry in it before, but never thought to add Marsala. I'll have to try that! Neat idea -- thanks.
