Yield Makes about 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons coarse salt
1/2 pound lentils, picked over (about 1 1/4 cups)
1/2 cup tahini (sesame seed paste)
5 garlic cloves, minced and mashed to a paste with 1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1/3 to 1/2 cup water
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
toasted pita wedges

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan bring 2 quarts water with salt to a boil and simmer lentils about 15 minutes, or until al dente. In a colander drain lentils and rinse under cold water, draining well. Transfer lentils to a bowl and chill 20 minutes.
  • In a food processor pureé lentils, tahini, garlic paste, lemon juice, and 1/2 cup water until smooth. With motor running add oil in a stream, adding up to 1/4 cup remaining water if mixture is too thick. Season hummus with salt and pepper.
  • Hummus may be made one day ahead and chilled, its surface covered with plastic wrap. Bring hummus to room temperature before serving. Serve with pita toasts.

Tips:

  • To make the most flavorful hummus, use dried lentils instead of canned lentils. This will give the hummus a richer, nuttier flavor.
  • Be sure to rinse the lentils thoroughly before cooking them. This will help to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Cook the lentils until they are soft but still hold their shape. Overcooked lentils will make the hummus mushy.
  • Use a food processor or high-powered blender to puree the lentils until they are smooth and creamy. A regular blender may not be powerful enough to get the desired consistency.
  • Season the hummus to taste with cumin, coriander, garlic, and lemon juice. You can also add other spices, such as paprika, chili powder, or cayenne pepper, to taste.
  • Serve the hummus immediately or store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Conclusion:

Curried lentil hummus is a delicious and healthy dip or spread that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. Whether you are serving it at a party or enjoying it as a snack at home, curried lentil hummus is sure to be a hit.
