Yield Makes about 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons coarse salt
1/2 pound lentils, picked over (about 1 1/4 cups)
1/2 cup tahini (sesame seed paste)
5 garlic cloves, minced and mashed to a paste with 1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1/3 to 1/2 cup water
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
toasted pita wedges

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan bring 2 quarts water with salt to a boil and simmer lentils about 15 minutes, or until al dente. In a colander drain lentils and rinse under cold water, draining well. Transfer lentils to a bowl and chill 20 minutes.
  • In a food processor pureé lentils, tahini, garlic paste, lemon juice, and 1/2 cup water until smooth. With motor running add oil in a stream, adding up to 1/4 cup remaining water if mixture is too thick. Season hummus with salt and pepper.
  • Hummus may be made one day ahead and chilled, its surface covered with plastic wrap. Bring hummus to room temperature before serving. Serve with pita toasts.

Tips:

  • For a creamier hummus, use canned lentils instead of dried lentils. Canned lentils are already cooked and softened, so they will blend more easily.
  • If you don't have any curry powder, you can use a combination of cumin, coriander, and turmeric. Just add 1 teaspoon of each spice to the recipe.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your taste. If you like things spicy, you can add more cayenne pepper. If you prefer a milder hummus, you can omit the cayenne pepper altogether.
  • Serve the hummus with your favorite dippers, such as pita chips, vegetables, or crackers. You can also use it as a spread on sandwiches or wraps.

Conclusion:

This curried lentil hummus is a delicious and healthy snack or appetizer. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful snack, give this curried lentil hummus a try!
