Lemony White Bean Hummus from Episode 38

Episode 38Bootie and Bossy
00:00 / 40:01

Following our episode on Ina Garten, we watched the Netflix documentary on Martha Stewart. We tried Martha's Lemony White Bean Hummus and it was a hit, especially after imbibing Bossy's new favorite drink: the espresso martini! It's the fresh garlic and lemon juice that really elevate this healthy snack. As Martha would say, "It's perfectly perfect." Bossy added a large garlic clove, Bootie used a small one. We both agree that using the liquid from the can of cannellini beans is unnecessary. You can always add it if the hummus if it's too thick. Add some cumin or smoked paprika for extra flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 can (15 ounces) white beans, such as cannellini, drained, 2 tablespoons liquid reserved

  • ¼ cup tahini

  • â…“ cup fresh lemon juice (from 2 lemons)

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1 small garlic clove

  • Coarse salt

Directions

  1. Puree beans, tahini, lemon juice, oil, and garlic in a food processor until smooth, adding reserved bean liquid as needed to thin hummus to attain desired consistency. Season generously with salt.

Cook's Notes

Hummus can be refrigerated up to 2 days.
