I used to get pita sandwiches stuffed with hummus, cucumbers, tomatoes and onions. I LOVED them! So I had an idea. What about putting those toppings on a pizza crust? Bake the crust first, spread it with hummus and then add the the vegetabes. Olives would be good on this too.

I find tahini in the Middle Eastern foods section of my supermarket. In a pinch I have have used creamy peanut butter as a sub and it has worked nicely. Not exactly the same flavor, but a good alternative if there is no tahini available. Here is the recipe for hummus that I use:

Hummus

1 16oz can garbanzo beans (chick peas), drained and rinsed well

1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice

1 to 2 cloves of garlic

2 Tbsp tahini

Drain garbanzo beans. In a food processor or blender mix with lemon juice, garlic, and tahini. Blend until smooth. If necessary, can add up to a 1/4 cup water to make the mixture smooth.

I've never actually made it. I just buy the stuff. I hear it is easy to make, but when my mom made it, it was not edible. I don't know if she used bad tahini or too much tahini or what. Tahini is sold (at least around here) in one of two places. With the peanut butter, or in the refrigerated section. I've also heard it is easy to make by grinding sesame seeds in the coffee grinder or Magic Bullet.

Why are you afraid to try deli hummus? Hummus should be quite safe, unless it's right out there in the open with gluten nearby.

The only hummus I hesitate to buy is the stuff on the cold food bar at Central Market. It's right by the wheat bread.

Just afraid off cc. I know it's probably safe, but I always prefer to make my own everything.

I like to put pesto on a pizza shell. It's really good with some cold salmon, lettuce and tomatoe, and a little smoked provalone. I'm going to try your hummis recipe using PB. Interesting.

I use this recipe too-- I do keep the water from the can in reserve and use that instead of tap water. Also use more garlic and someitmes lime instead of lemon depending whats on the trees outside. This is a great base to experiment with by adding some tomato, artichoke heart event he baby corn sometimes which is my grad daughters favorite.

I never thought to use lime and I love artichoke hearts. I can't wait to try these combinations! I don't know why I never thought to use the water from the can. That is brilliant:) Thanks for the ideas I look forward to trying the variations.

I am eating this now and it's soooo good! I started with Ener-G rice pizza shells. Topped with olive oil and baked. Cooled slightly then covered with some really good hummus, sliced tomatoes, white onions and Kalamatta olives. Can't wait to make this again! I like it so much I might have it for a bedtime snack. Mmmm...

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
