White Bean Hummus
Description
The White Bean Hummus starts by pureeing canned white beans into a powdery texture which improves creaminess when fully made. Tahini adds a nutty density, while lemon juice provides acidity to brighten the dip. Garlic and cumin contribute aromatic depth without overpowering the delicate flavor of the beans. Processing the mixture along with ice cubes yields a smooth, refreshingly cool consistency ideal for spreading or dipping.
Once blended, the hummus is spread on a shallow dish and swirled before drizzling extra virgin olive oil on top and sprinkling fresh parsley for a burst of herbal freshness. It can be served chilled or at room temperature, making it well suited for various occasions from casual snacking to appetizer platters.
The hummus stores well in the refrigerator for up to a week in airtight containers. For those with tahini allergies, substituting olive oil in lieu of tahini provides a workable alternative without drastically affecting texture. Using a high-speed food processor helps achieve the best creamy smoothness.
Ingredients
- 15 ounce White beans canned
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons tahini
- 1 garlic clove
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- ½ teaspoon salt
- extra virgin olive oil for serving
- parsley for serving, fresh
Instructions
- Place the white beans in a food processor. Blend them alone until they become powder-like, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Add the lemon juice, tahini, garlic cloves, cumin salt and 2-3 ice cubes, and blend for about 2-3 minutes until smooth. Taste and adjust as needed by adding more lemon juice or salt.
- Spoon the hummus onto a plate or bowl, and spread with the back of a spoon to create swirls. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle fresh parsley on top. Serve cold or at room temperature.
Notes
- Store leftover hummus in an airtight container; it stays fresh about one week refrigerated.
- Tahini is available at Middle Eastern stores or health-food aisles; substitute olive oil if allergic.
- Use a strong food processor for smooth, creamy hummus consistent with recipe texture.
