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.
