Ingredients
- 1 cup dried green lentils
- 3 cups vegetable broth
- 2 garlic cloves
- ¼ cup olive oil plus extra for drizzling
- ¼ cup Tahini
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin optional
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Place the lentils and broth or water into a medium saucepan over high heat. Bring the liquid to a boil. Lower heat and simmer, uncovered, until the lentils are tender but not mushy, about 30 minutes.
- Drain the lentils in a colander and return them to the saucepan. Cool completely, about 20 minutes.
- Place the lentils, garlic, olive oil, tahini, lemon juice, cumin (if using), and salt into the bowl of a food processor fitted with an S-blade. Process until smooth, stopping to scrape down sides of bowl as needed.
- Transfer the finished hummus to a bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Serve with pita wedges, crackers or veggies for dipping.
Notes
- Feel free to include your favorite hummus stir-in in place of, or along with the cumin.
