Kidney Bean Hummus Recipes

HOW TO MAKE RED KIDNEY BEAN HUMMUS

Steps:

• Open a can of kidney beans and wash the beans with purified water.
• Empty the can of kidney beans into the food processor.
• Add 2 tablespoons of unroasted Tahini (sesame seed butter).
• Add 3 teaspoons of soy sauce.
• Add 3 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice.
• Add 2-3 cloves of chopped or pressed garlic, according to your taste.
• Add a pinch of cayenne according to taste. (Don't add too much, though. Cayenne is very strong.)
• Start the food processor and run it for 2 minutes or until the mixture is very smooth.
• Taste and adjust the flavor by adding lemon juice and/or soy sauce. When you master those two you can adjust the tahini. It takes 5 to 6 tries to get it right, and you may spoil the lot on the first try if you make large adjustments.
• Serve with bread, crackers, or in wraps, and enjoy a unique flavor of hummus with a flavor penchant on "Pâté de Foie Gras".

KIDNEY BEAN CURRY

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a low-medium heat. Add the onion and a pinch of salt and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until softened and just starting to colour. Add the garlic, ginger and coriander stalks and cook for a further 2 mins, until fragrant.
• Add the spices to the pan and cook for another 1 min, by which point everything should smell aromatic. Tip in the chopped tomatoes and kidney beans in their water, then bring to the boil.
• Turn down the heat and simmer for 15 mins until the curry is nice and thick. Season to taste, then serve with the basmati rice and the coriander leaves.

RED KIDNEY BEAN DIP

Steps:

• Heat the oil and cook the onion and garlic until soft and golden.
• Add the kidney beans and their liquid and stir in the tomato paste and spices and cook for a few minutes.
• Add the lime juice to the kidney bean mixture. Take the pan off the heat and when it has cooled a little, process the mixture until it is a bumpy puree. When it is cool, arrange in small bowls and sprinkle over the reserved lime zest.
