I came up with this recipe after wanting hummus, but not having chickpeas or tahini in the house. This is lemony, creamy, and really good for you! Try with pita bread or raw vegetables. Also good on a tortilla with chopped red bell pepper and olives.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, thyme, and rosemary. Cook until onions are translucent, 5 to 6 minutes. Add beans with their liquid, 1 cup of water, salt, pepper, and cayenne, and bring to a simmer. Cook until liquid is nearly evaporated, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove thyme and rosemary sprigs; discard. Carefully transfer mixture to the bowl of a food processor, add the tahini and lemon, and puree until smooth. Adjust seasoning, if necessary. Transfer to a serving bowl, let cool.
- Top with Kalamata relish and drizzle with olive oil before serving. Serve with pita triangles.
FLATBREAD WITH WHITE BEAN HUMMUS, CARAMELIZED ONIONS, BLACK OLIVES AND SPANISH WHITE ANCHOVIES
Steps:
- Spread each flatbread with some of the hummus, then top with the caramelized onions, olives, and anchovies. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves. Cut into wedges and serve.
- In an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the yeast, sugar, and water. Mix for 1 minute on low speed and let stand until the mixture just begins to bubble. Attach the dough hook and add both flours and the salt to the yeast mixture. Mix until it forms a mass; the dough should be sticky. Continue to add additional flour, if necessary, until the surface is dry enough to handle and dry enough to roll.
- Divide the dough into 4 pieces, roll into balls, and lightly brush with oil. Place on a floured surface and cover the balls with plastic wrap and a clean cloth and let proof for 2 hours at room temperature; or, place on a lightly greased baking sheet, cover, and let proof overnight in a refrigerator.
- Preheat a grill or preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- To form flatbread, pat each piece of dough out into a 5-inch disk and sprinkle liberally with flour. Roll each disk, on a floured surface, into a 10-inch diameter circle. Puncture the dough liberally with a fork to keep it from rising. Grill or bake each on a pizza stone or a lightly greased sheet pan for about 5 minutes or until dough starts to get crisp on the edges but still remains chewy.
- Place beans, garlic, harissa, lemon juice, and tahini in the bowl of a food processor and process until smooth. With the machine running, slowly add the olive oil until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.;
- Heat oil and butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onions and sugar and cook slowly until deep golden brown, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and stir in the thyme.
SUPER TASTY WHITE BEAN HUMMUS
This is my version of white bean hummus. After trying many different recipes, this one worked best for me. I like the smooth consistency and hint of spice. This does have cayenne, but don't worry...it is not hot at all. It really makes this dip something special and adds another dimension. My whole family loves this with toasted pita and veggies. This recipe makes a very large batch.

Steps:
- Put garlic cloves into the food processor and process until finely chopped.
- Add the beans and pulse a few times to chop them coarsely. Then, with the machine running, puree them while you slowly pour the sesame paste through the feed tube, stop the processor occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- With processor still running add olive oil, lemon juice, and soy sauce through feet tube, stopping again to scrape down bowl occasionaly.
- Stop the processor and open the lid. Add the coriander, cayenne, salt and cumin.
- Process until thouroughly blended.
- I like to add water or more lemon juice (to your taste) to thin the hummus. I like it thin and smooth. Add water and continue to process according to your own taste.
- Transfer to a bowl and chill before serving.
- This tastes even better the next day, in my opinion and last in the fridge for several days thanks to the lemon juice which acts as a natural preservative.
- Serve with fresh veggies like sliced cucumber, tomatoes, celery and toasted pita.
- I also like this on sandwiches.
- Enjoy!
