3-Ingredient Quick Red Bean Hummus

Recipe:

Ingredient Notes:

• Beans. Feel free to use whichever type of bean you prefer for this recipe. Red, black, lima, and black-eyed peas all work well. You can use canned beans for maximum speed and convenience, or you can soak and boil dried beans. However, the first option is faster and much more convenient. If you are cooking with boiled beans, use cold water instead of the bean liquid to adjust the consistency, if necessary.
  The recipe lists the net weight of the beans without the liquid.
• Tahini. It’s a sesame paste from the Middle East that you can find in large supermarkets, as well as in Indian, Iranian, and Turkish specialty stores. If you can’t find ready-made tahini, you can make your own. Here is a recipe.
• Garlic. The recipe calls for a medium amount of garlic. If you prefer a more pronounced garlic flavor, add more.
• Olive oil. It is used as a flavoring ingredient when serving. You can omit it if desired, but I strongly advise keeping it.

Let’s start cooking!

Drain the liquid from the beans, but don’t discard it. Leave it in case you need to add it to the mixture if it’s too dry.

In a bowl, combine the beans, tahini, garlic, and salt.

Puree the mixture using a blender.

Add the bean liquid during the blending process, if needed.

Serve with fresh vegetables or pita bread.

Enjoy!
