After Kale Stem Pesto (page 58), this is my favorite recipe for using up the stems and stalks of greens rather than throwing them away. Chard stalk hummus is a traditional Lebanese dish that resembles baba ghanoush in flavor and texture. In place of chickpeas, it uses chard stalks to make a rustic dip for raw vegetables and pita. You end up with a lighter texture, but all the same flavors as traditional hummus with creamy tahini, garlic, and lemon. Conventional Swiss chard stalks will make a classic white hummus, while red or rainbow chard stalks will make a pink or yellow hummus.
