Lemon And Herb Hummus Recipes

LEMON AND HERB WHITE BEAN DIP

Steps:

• To a food processor (or high-speed blender) add drained, rinsed white beans along with tahini, lemon zest and lemon juice (starting with lesser amounts of both), salt, garlic, and olive oil (reserve herbs for later).
• Blend until creamy, scraping down sides as needed - about 1 minute. If you prefer more texture, blend for less time. If you prefer silky smooth dip, blend for longer.
• Add chopped dill (or other herbs) and pulse again to combine.
• Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more garlic for zing, lemon zest or juice for brightness or acidity, salt to taste, olive oil for creaminess / floral notes, dill for more herbal notes, or tahini for nuttiness. We like pretty bold flavors, so we added the additional lemon zest and juice and a pinch more salt.
• Enjoy immediately, or refrigerate to chill, which allows the dip to thicken. Option to garnish with additional drizzle of olive oil, lemon zest, and fresh dill for serving. Serve with pita bread or chips, flatbread, crackers, or vegetables of choice.
• Leftovers keep covered in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. Not freezer friendly.

HERBED HUMMUS

Steps:

• In a food processor, combine hummus and herbs; process until herbs are finely chopped, about 1 minute.

LEMON AND HERB HUMMUS

Steps:

• In a food processor, combine the beans, roasted shallot, tahini, lemon zest and juice, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes and pulse to combine. With the motor running, stream in the olive oil and stop at desired smoothness (I like mine a bit textured). Tear the herbs up a bit with your fingers and add to the hummus, pulse a few times until combined. Add more if you'd like. Taste for salt and pepper; and, if you'd like, thin it out with a few tablespoons of water or more lemon juice.
• Note: For the roasted shallot, peel and cut it into quarters. Rub a bit of olive oil on the surface and roast at 400 F for about 20 minutes. This is quickest in a toaster oven, and can be done in advance. If you are short on time, 2 cloves of garlic make a fine alternative.
• The following is an optional garnish for the hummus plate. It is not completely necessary, but adds a little something different. Slice the cucumber paper thin and toss it with the chopped parsley and vinegar. Put the hummus on a serving plate, top with the cucumber mix, feta cheese and fresh herbs for garnish.

LEMON-DILL HUMMUS

Steps:

• Soak chickpeas overnight. Bring to a boil and simmer 30-45 minutes or until tender.
• Drain, reserving liquid.
• While chickpeas are still hot, put them into the blender with all the other ingredients.
• Add 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid and blend on medium speed until it achieves a smooth, peanut-butter-like consistency. Add additional cooking liquid if it seems too stiff.
• Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary.
• Best if chilled overnight to develop flavor.
