BUTTER BEAN HUMMUS



Butter Bean Hummus image

Like Zaar needs another hummus recipe.......But-this is different cause it's made from butterbeans (Lima beans) instead of the usual chickpeas. Found the recipe on the net a while back and have made it many times since then. Thought I'd share it.

4 garlic cloves
1/3 cup tahini
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Soak the beans overnight in plenty of water.

  • Put the beans in a food processor fitted with a steal blade.

  • Puree this mixture, and with the motor running, slowly pour in the olive oil and lemon juice.

BUTTER BEAN HUMMUS (HOUMOUS)



Butter Bean Hummus (Houmous) image

This is a recipe from Lesley Waters 'Simple Ways to Success - Healthy' cookbook. This is a really creamy houmous and the butter beans add extra protein. I use Bekah's Homemade Tahini #73859 to make it and sometimes I add a little sambal oelek for some extra spicyness. It great served with a variety of fresh vegetables and pita crisps for dipping. Or you could try one of my favourites: a fresh bagel with houmous, rocket and roasted aubergine. Yum!
