Background

Making hummus is so easy and much cheaper than buying it ready-made from the supermarkets. When I don’t have chickpeas I use cannellini beans instead. I added fresh herbs to this white bean hummus, which made it fresh and zingy. Perfect as a dip, sandwich spread or pasta sauce.

Ingredients

1 tin of cannellini beans
2 cloves of garlic
1 Tbsp olive oil
Juice of one lemon
2 Tbsp tahini
One large handful of basil or mint leaves
Salt and pepper

Instructions

Drain the beans and put them into a food processor.
Add the rest of the ingredients and whizz until you get a smooth mixture.
Taste and adjust the seasoning to your liking. Rest in the fridge for an hour or so before serving.
It keeps well in the fridge for 3-5 days.
