Categories     Beans

Time 5m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (14 ounce) can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup fresh basil, tightly packed
1/4 cup fresh parsley
1 lemon, juice of
2 fresh garlic cloves, sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil (or more, if desired)
1/3 cup tahini
salt and pepper

Tips:

  • Soak the cannellini beans overnight or for at least 8 hours before cooking. This will help to soften them and reduce the cooking time.
  • If you don't have time to soak the beans, you can quick-soak them by boiling them in water for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
  • Use a food processor or high-powered blender to get a smooth and creamy hummus. If you don't have a food processor, you can mash the beans by hand, but it will take a little longer.
  • If you like a thinner hummus, you can add more water or olive oil until you reach the desired consistency.
  • Season the hummus to taste with salt, pepper, and lemon juice. You can also add other spices and herbs, such as cumin, garlic powder, or paprika.
  • Serve the hummus with pita bread, crackers, or vegetables. You can also use it as a sandwich spread or dip.
