White Bean Hummus
I like to use white beans because they become creamy when the Hummus is made in the food processor.
Ingredients
- 1 can white beans rinsed and well drained
- 1-2 cloves garlic minced (use according to your taste)
- Juice of 2 lemons or limes if you don’t have the fresh fruit use bottled juice, 2-3 tablespoons
- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon Tahini
- 1 seeded and chopped jalapeño or 1 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce
- 2-3 teaspoons warm water add slowly till hummus is at your desired consistency
- If you like the hummus spicier you can add some cayenne or sriracha sauce.
- If you like the hummus less spicy eliminate the jalapeño/chipotle pepper and substitute 1 small jar or ½ of a large jar of smoked red peppers.
Instructions
- Place all ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth and creamy. Salt to taste (just a little bit). Can be served as is or chilled prior to serving.
- Serve with baked tortilla chips or lightly toasted pita bread triangles.
