Ingredients

• 400 g butter beans (canned or cooked)
• 3 tbsp tahini (sesame paste)
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 small garlic clove
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp water (for adjusting consistency, optional)
• 0.5 tsp paprika (for garnishing, optional)
• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (for drizzling, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Drain and rinse the butter beans if using canned beans. If using home-cooked beans, ensure they are soft and cooled.

Step 2

Peel the garlic clove and chop it into smaller pieces for easier blending.

Step 3

In a food processor or blender, combine the butter beans, tahini, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Blend the mixture until smooth. If the consistency is too thick, add water 1 tablespoon at a time and blend again until you reach your desired consistency.

Step 5

Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as needed.

Step 6

Transfer the butter bean hummus to a serving dish. Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of paprika, if desired.

Step 7

Serve immediately with pita bread, vegetable sticks, or crackers. Alternatively, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
