Bean And Sunflower Hummus Recipes

Steps:

• Pulse the garlic in a food processor until minced.
• Scrape the bowl and add the beans, tahini, lemon juice, coriander, miso (if using) and 1 teaspoon salt. Pulse until smooth, scraping the bowl occasionally. With the machine running, add the olive oil. Season to taste with salt.

Steps:

• Add everything except the liquid from the garbanzo beans into your blender or food processor.
• Pulse, adding a tablespoonful of bean liquid at a time to help get things moving. Continue pureeing for a minute or so until completely smooth.
• Scoop into a bowl, top with sunflower seeds and a liberal drizzle of olive oil, and serve.
• Keeps refrigerated for 3 - 4 days.

Steps:

• Blend garbanzo beans, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, cumin, salt, and sesame oil in a food processor; stream reserved bean liquid into the mixture as it blends until desired consistency is achieved.

Steps:

• Process the beans in a food processor until they form a paste. Add the Roasted Garlic and pulse 2 to 3 times to incorporate. Add the tahini, cumin, coriander, paprika and cayenne and blend until a smooth texture starts to develop, 1 to 2 minutes. With the motor running, pour in the olive oil and blend until smooth. The mixture will be thick at this point. Pour in the lemon juice and, if needed, drizzle in water, 1 tablespoon at a time (up to 1/2 cup), until the desired consistency is reached. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Cover and refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour. Serve with pita bread, pita chips or fresh vegetables.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Cut the top off of the garlic head, exposing the cloves but leaving the head intact. Set the head on a large piece of foil, drizzle with the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Wrap up the foil to make a pouch and bake until the garlic is soft and roasted, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Set aside to cool. Yield: 1 head garlic

Steps:

• Soak the beans overnight in plenty of water.
• Drain and discard the soaking water.
• Put the beans in a pot and cover with cold fresh water.
• Bring to a boil and then simmer, partially covered, until they are very tender but not mushy.
• Remove from heat and drain, reserving the cooking liquid.
• Put the beans in a food processor fitted with a steal blade.
• Add garlic, tahini, salt, pepper, and cayenne.
• Puree this mixture, and with the motor running, slowly pour in the olive oil and lemon juice.
• If the puree is too thick, pour in a little of the reserved cooking liquid until the puree is silky smooth, I use up about one cup of the cooking liquid.
• Taste for seasoning and add more salt and cayenne if desired.
