Although hummus is traditionally made from chickpeas, this version made from canned white beans is also excellent. It can be used as a spread, side dish, or dip, and can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or as a snack.

Steps

  1. Drain the beans well, saving some of the liquid from the can as it will be used later in the preparation of the hummus.

  2. Place the drained beans in a food processor and add tahini, olive oil, and peeled and crushed garlic. Blend the ingredients for about 30 seconds.

  3. Add lemon juice and season with salt and ground pepper. Continue blending and gradually add the reserved bean liquid from the can (you can also use water) to achieve a very smooth, creamy, and light spread.

  4. Transfer the prepared spread to a serving dish and chill it well in the refrigerator before serving. When serving, drizzle with olive oil and garnish with optional toppings (coarsely ground pepper or coriander seeds, chopped parsley, toasted sesame seeds, etc.). Serve with fresh or toasted bread, crackers, grissini, or sliced vegetables.
