White Bean Hummus

homemade White Bean Hummus in a bowl with paprika, olive oil and parsley
  • Serves:  10
  • Prep Time:  15 min
  • Cook Time:  0 min

Ingredients

  • 2 (15 oz) cans white beans, drained, 1/3 cup liquid reserved
  • 1/2 cup Tahini
  • 3 Tbsp Extra virgin olive oil, plus more for serving
  • 1 tsp Lemon zest
  • 1/4 cup fresh Lemon juice, from 2 lemons
  • 3 Garlic cloves, peeled
  • 1/2 tsp Sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp paprika, plus are more for serving
  • Flat leaf parsley (optional)
  • Toasted pita bread for serving

Method

  1. Add drained white beans, 1/4 cup of the reserved liquid, tahini, olive oil, lemon zest and juice, garlic, salt, garlic powder and paprika to a high powered blender or food processor. Blend on low until ingredients are mixed together. Slowly increase the speed, and blend on high for 5 minutes until smooth and creamy, using a tamper as needed. If the hummus appears to be too dry and isn’t blending nicely, add more reserved liquid 1 tablespoon at a time.
  2. Adjust the salt to your liking. If the hummus tastes a little “flat” try adding more salt and a bit more lemon juice and blend again.
  3. To serve, use the back of a spoon to spread the hummus out into a shallow bowl, drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with chopped flat leaf parsley and paprika. Serve with warm pita and vegetables.
