    Rosemary grows prolifically here in California and it’s such a fragrant and delicious herb to enhance many dishes like this Rosemary Cashew Hummus.

    You know when you see some food in a grocery store and you think “I want to try to make this” or the combination of ingredients inspires you? I’m like that a lot.

    Sometimes I just “wander” around a store checking out different foods to get ideas. Just so you know, I’ve driven my kids crazy with this. The oldest 3 took turns over the years to food shop with me when I was heading up a large community kitchen. I hear stories from them that they have these nightmare about shopping with mom – Lol! What can I say? I was just trying to be inspired and creative. Little kids don’t see it that way though!

    Recently a friend posted some Sabra hummus varieties on Snapchat that she got. I think she’s a rep for them. Anyway, there was one that was new to me and it was a rosemary hummus. So, a couple things, 1) I have a huge rosemary plant in my garden 2) I love rosemary 3) I really like hummus 4) I especially like cashew hummus. So, there you have it, my reasoning for making this recipe.

    There are a couple other ingredients that I really like too – roasted garlic and sun-dried tomatoes. So does this idea all go together?? I’m happy to say YESSS!! So yummy.

    When I was thinking about making Rosemary Cashew Hummus, I knew it would be weird to put pieces of chopped up fresh rosemary in the hummus. I then had a brainstorm – yes for me, this was a brainstorm!

    Since I put a little olive oil in the hummus recipe, why not make it rosemary infused olive oil? Guys, this is so easy to do and so delicious. I made just a 1/2 cup to try it and it came out really good.

    making rosemary infused olive oilTo make this rosemary infused olive oil, I stripped fresh rosemary leaves off the stem. I used around 1/8 cup or a making rosemary infused olive oillittle over 1/2 of a 1/4 cup. I put the rosemary in a small heavy bottom pot and then poured 1/2 cup olive oil over it. I then turned the burner on to the lowest setting and let the oil and rosemary heat together for about 8 minutes or so. DON’T BOIL! Then I turned off the burner and put the pot on a cooling rack. When the oil was cooled, I strained it through a fine tea strainer and voila! – rosemary infused olive oil.

    You have to do a couple things before you make this Rosemary Cashew Hummus. You have to soak your cashews in water overnight and also make the rosemary oil – neither of which take a long time. Oh ya, you have to roast a bulb of garlic in the oven too…heavenly!

    So, the recipe does require a little forethought but forethought is good right?

    Here is the recipe for Rosemary Cashew Hummus:
