I love all types of hummus and just recently I was over a friend's house for a jewelry demonstration, (Yes I did get a little bauble for mother's day) and she was serving this beautiful white bean hummus from a local gourmet shop. So of course knowing me as you may, I had to do a little research on the old net looking for a white bean recipe I'd like to try.
I found this recipe over at the blog SavorySimple, only the recipe there called for Tahini which I did not have in the house. No worries...I made the hummus without it and it came out yummy. The ingredients are pretty simple, all you need is a can of cannelloni beans, one whole bulb of garlic, olive oil, water, juice from one lemon and some salt and pepper.
- 1 whole bulb garlic
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 15.5 ounce can cannelloni beans
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 1/4 cup water
- Sea salt and pepper to taste
- If you want to add the tahini you will need 1/2 cup.
Slice off the top of the garlic bulb so that all the garlic cloves are visible. Place bulb in a small oven proof bowl like a ramekin, drizzle a little olive oil over the top and season with salt. Place in an oven set at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 30 minutes, remove from oven and let cool. Once cool squeeze the garlic out of their skins into a small bowl and mash with a spoon.
Place all ingredients in a food processor or blender and blend until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
I like this served with a mild black bean chip or with some fresh veggies!
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!
