Ingredients
- 1 oz can cannellini beans (white kidney beans)
- 1 clove garlic, sliced
- 2 tablespoon tahini paste
- 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoon lemon juice
- 10 dashes hot sauce (Tobasco)
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ c *Optional* Fresh Parsley
Instructions
- Drain cannellini beans well, reserving liquid (aqua faba) in a cup for later.
- Add beans, sliced garlic and tahini to the bowl of a food processor. Turn on a process until fairly smooth.
- Add remaining ingredients except for the oil and reserved aqua faba (bean liquid) and process again for 1 minute or until creamy and well incorporated. Add olive oil and pulse again until emulsified.
- Taste and season with extra salt and pepper if desired. Drizzle with extra olive oil over the top and serve right away or store covered in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to one week.

Notes
- Cannellini beans are a little less dense than chickpeas so this hummus is not as thick as most traditional hummus recipes. Draining the beans well before starting will give the thickest result possible.
- If you want the hummus thinner, add reserved aqua faba (bean liquid), one tablespoon at a time, pulsing in between until desired consistency is reached.
