French Bean Hummus


Prep Time: 10 min
Cook Time: 4 min
Total Time: 15 Min
Serves: 4

Ingredients

  • 5 cups French green beans, trimmed and snapped in pieces

  • 1 can cannellini beans, rinsed

  • Juice of 1 lemon

  • 5 TBLS Tahini

  • 3 cloves garlic (pan seared until fragrant but not burnt)

  • 1/3 cup of slivered raw almonds

  • Pinches of cayenne pepper, salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Directions

Step 1.

Place a medium stock pot filled ½ way with water on high heat and cook until boiling. Add French beans and cook beans until barely tender (about 3 – 4 minutes). Do not overcook. Place in cold water to stop cooking and to keep green color.

Step 2.

Place French green beans, cannellini beans, tahini, almonds, garlic, and lemon juice in a food processor and pulse until desired texture. If mixture is too thin add a few more almonds and if thick add a dash of olive oil. Taste and add salt and pepper and the optional cayenne pepper, re-pulse a few times and taste again. Adjust if necessary.
