BUTTER BEAN HUMMUS



Butter Bean Hummus image

Like Zaar needs another hummus recipe.......But-this is different cause it's made from butterbeans (Lima beans) instead of the usual chickpeas. Found the recipe on the net a while back and have made it many times since then. Thought I'd share it.

1 lb dried butter beans (Lima beans)
4 garlic cloves
1/3 cup tahini
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1 cup olive oil

Steps:

  • Soak the beans overnight in plenty of water.
  • Drain and discard the soaking water.
  • Put the beans in a pot and cover with cold fresh water.
  • Bring to a boil and then simmer, partially covered, until they are very tender but not mushy.
  • Remove from heat and drain, reserving the cooking liquid.
  • Put the beans in a food processor fitted with a steal blade.

  • Puree this mixture, and with the motor running, slowly pour in the olive oil and lemon juice.

BUTTER BEAN HUMMUS (HOUMOUS)



Butter Bean Hummus (Houmous) image

This is a recipe from Lesley Waters 'Simple Ways to Success - Healthy' cookbook. This is a really creamy houmous and the butter beans add extra protein. I use Bekah's Homemade Tahini #73859 to make it and sometimes I add a little sambal oelek for some extra spicyness. It great served with a variety of fresh vegetables and pita crisps for dipping. Or you could try one of my favourites: a fresh bagel with houmous, rocket and roasted aubergine. Yum!

Tips:

  • Soaking the Butter Beans: To ensure the smoothest hummus, soak the butter beans overnight or for at least 8 hours before cooking. This will help them cook more evenly and break down more easily.
  • Using Canned Butter Beans: If you're short on time, you can use canned butter beans instead of dried ones. Just be sure to rinse and drain them thoroughly before using.
  • Cooking the Butter Beans: You can cook the butter beans in a pot on the stovetop or in a slow cooker. If cooking on the stovetop, bring the beans to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 1-2 hours, or until they are tender. If using a slow cooker, cook the beans on low for 8-10 hours.
  • Adding Flavor: To add extra flavor to your hummus, try roasting the butter beans before cooking them. You can also add spices, herbs, and other seasonings to the hummus while it's blending.
  • Using Different Types of Tahini: Tahini is a key ingredient in hummus, but not all tahinis are created equal. For the best flavor, use a high-quality tahini made from 100% roasted sesame seeds.
  • Serving Hummus: Hummus can be served as a dip with pita bread, vegetables, or crackers. It can also be used as a spread on sandwiches or wraps.

Conclusion:

With its creamy texture, nutty flavor, and endless serving options, butter bean hummus is a delicious and versatile dish that's sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying snack or appetizer, give butter bean hummus a try. You won't be disappointed!
