Substituting cashew butter for the usual tahini gives the hummus a nuttier flavor. Look for a cashew butter that's deep golden brown.

Time 40m

Yield Makes 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup brown or green lentils
1/4 cup cashew butter
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (from 2 large lemons)
1/2 teaspoon finely grated garlic
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce, such as Cholula
Coarse salt
3 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
4 pocketless whole-wheat pitas, toasted or grilled and cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Bring 8 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add lentils, and reduce heat. Cover with a round of parchment, and gently simmer until tender, about 30 minutes. Drain lentils, and let cool completely, about 30 minutes. (Lentils can be made 1 day ahead and refrigerated.)
  • Place cashew butter, lemon juice, garlic, hot sauce, and 1 teaspoon salt in a food processor, and process until combined. Add lentils, and process until smooth, about 2 minutes. With motor running, add 2 teaspoons oil, and process until incorporated. Transfer to a bowl, and chill if desired. Drizzle with remaining oil, garnish with parsley, and serve with pitas.
