Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 g butter beans (canned or cooked)
- 3 tbsp tahini (sesame paste)
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 small garlic clove
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp water (for adjusting consistency, optional)
- 0.5 tsp paprika (for garnishing, optional)
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (for drizzling, optional)
Instructions
Drain and rinse the butter beans if using canned beans. If using home-cooked beans, ensure they are soft and cooled.
Peel the garlic clove and chop it into smaller pieces for easier blending.
In a food processor or blender, combine the butter beans, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.
Blend the mixture until smooth. If the consistency is too thick, add water 1 tablespoon at a time and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as needed.
Transfer the butter bean hummus to a serving dish. Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of paprika, if desired.
Serve immediately with pita bread, vegetable sticks, or crackers. Alternatively, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
