Best 4 Italian White Bean Hummus Recipes

ITALIAN HUMMUS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 325 degrees F. Toast bread 7 to 8 minutes.
• Place the beans in food processor with tahini, garlic, rosemary, the juice of 1 lemon and some salt. Turn processor on and stream in a little olive oil, process until smooth, adjust salt and transfer to a small serving bowl, garnish with toppings if you wish (on its own it is still delish), surround the hummus with toasts for spreading.

ITALIAN WHITE BEAN HUMMUS

Steps:

• In a food processor, purée beans until nearly smooth. Add tahini and continue to purée. Add olive oil and pulse. Add the lemon juice one tablespoon at a time, tasting after each addition. Add in ice water as needed, until the hummus has a texture you prefer. I added about 2 tablespoons of ice water. Season with salt, adding ½ teaspoon at a time. Serve at room temperature, topped with parsley and capers and drizzled with olive oil. Try serving the hummus with raw vegetables, crackers, or chips for dipping; spread it inside a pita or wrap; or use it as a sauce for grilled meat or fish. Keeps sealed in the refrigerator for 3 - 4 days.

Steps:

• Cut each pita in half and then into 8 wedges. Arrange the pita wedges on a large baking sheet. Pour the remaining oil over the pitas. Toss and spread out the wedges evenly. Sprinkle with the oregano, salt, and pepper. Bake for 8 to 12 minutes, or until toasted and golden in color.
• Serve the pita toasts warm or at room temperature alongside the bean puree.
