Ingredients
- 400 grams canned butter beans (drained and rinsed)
- 3 tablespoons tahini
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 large garlic clove (peeled)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika (optional, for garnish)

- 2 tablespoons water (or more as needed)
Instructions
Add the drained and rinsed butter beans to a food processor or blender.
Add the tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, ground cumin, and salt to the food processor.
Blend the ingredients on high until the mixture begins to form a smooth paste.
While blending, slowly add water one tablespoon at a time to achieve your desired consistency. The hummus should be creamy but not too thick.
Taste the hummus and adjust the seasoning if needed by adding more salt or lemon juice.
Scoop the hummus into a serving bowl and smooth the top with the back of a spoon.
Drizzle a little olive oil over the top and sprinkle with paprika for garnish, if desired.
Serve immediately with pita bread, crackers, or fresh vegetables, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
