Bean hummus
Bean hummus is a dish that has been around for centuries. Its origins can be traced back to the Middle East, where it was first made with chickpeas. The word "hummus" is derived from the Arabic word for "chickpeas", and it is thought that the dish was originally created as a way to use up leftover chickpeas.
Bean hummus is traditionally made by mashing chickpeas with a mortar and pestle, then adding tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and olive oil. However, there are many different variations of the dish, and today, you can find bean hummus made with all sorts of different beans, including black beans, white beans, and even lentils.
While bean hummus is often served as a dip or spread, it can also be used in a variety of other ways. It makes a great sandwich filling or can be used as a topping for salads or roasted vegetables. And, of course, it is always delicious simply eaten with a spoon!
Advice
Bean hummus is a delicious and nutritious snack, and making it at home is easy and inexpensive. Start with canned beans such as chickpeas or black beans, and then add in some tahini, garlic, olive oil, and lemon juice for flavor. To give your hummus a creamy texture, blend the ingredients in a food processor until smooth. You can also add additional seasonings such as cumin, cayenne pepper, or smoked paprika to give it some extra flavor. If your hummus is too thick, you can thin it out by adding a bit more olive oil or water until you get the desired consistency. Let your hummus chill in the refrigerator before serving it with your favorite crackers or vegetables. Enjoy!
