Time 2h20m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 16

Two 15-ounce cans butter beans, drained and skins removed if they are peeling
1 head Roasted Garlic, recipe follows, cloves squeezed from the skins
3/4 cup tahini
4 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup lemon juice
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Pita bread, pita chips or fresh vegetables, for serving
1 head garlic
1 teaspoon olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Process the beans in a food processor until they form a paste. Add the Roasted Garlic and pulse 2 to 3 times to incorporate. Add the tahini, cumin, coriander, paprika and cayenne and blend until a smooth texture starts to develop, 1 to 2 minutes. With the motor running, pour in the olive oil and blend until smooth. The mixture will be thick at this point. Pour in the lemon juice and, if needed, drizzle in water, 1 tablespoon at a time (up to 1/2 cup), until the desired consistency is reached. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Cover and refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour. Serve with pita bread, pita chips or fresh vegetables.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Cut the top off of the garlic head, exposing the cloves but leaving the head intact. Set the head on a large piece of foil, drizzle with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Wrap up the foil to make a pouch and bake until the garlic is soft and roasted, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Set aside to cool. Yield: 1 head garlic

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!

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.

Provided by Chef Dudo

Categories     Spreads

Time 2h15m

Yield 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb dried butter beans (Lima beans)
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
1/4 cup lemon juice, freshly squeezed

Steps:

  • Soak the beans overnight in plenty of water.
  • Drain and discard the soaking water.
  • Put the beans in a pot and cover with cold fresh water.
  • Bring to a boil and then simmer, partially covered, until they are very tender but not mushy.
  • Remove from heat and drain, reserving the cooking liquid.
  • Put the beans in a food processor fitted with a steal blade.
  • Add garlic, tahini, salt, pepper, and cayenne.
  • Puree this mixture, and with the motor running, slowly pour in the olive oil and lemon juice.
  • If the puree is too thick, pour in a little of the reserved cooking liquid until the puree is silky smooth, I use up about one cup of the cooking liquid.
  • Taste for seasoning and add more salt and cayenne if desired.

Tips:

  • Use dried butter beans instead of canned ones for a more flavorful and authentic hummus.
  • Soak the butter beans overnight or for at least 8 hours before cooking them. This will help to soften them and reduce the cooking time.
  • If you don't have time to soak the butter beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
  • Once the butter beans are cooked, drain them and rinse them well.
  • Use a food processor or high-powered blender to make the hummus. This will help to create a smooth and creamy texture.
  • Add the tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and cumin to the food processor or blender along with the butter beans.
  • Season the hummus with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve the hummus with pita bread, vegetables, or crackers.
  • Garnish the hummus with a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of paprika, and some fresh herbs.

Conclusion:

Butter bean hummus is a delicious and healthy dip or spread that can be enjoyed as a snack or appetizer. It is also a great addition to sandwiches, wraps, and salads. With its creamy texture and rich flavor, butter bean hummus is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a new and exciting dip or spread to try, give butter bean hummus a try. You won't be disappointed!
