White Bean And Artichoke Hummus Recipes

ARTICHOKE HUMMUS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake chopped garlic in the preheated oven until softened, 5 to 7 minutes, to reduce bitterness. Transfer baked garlic to a food processor and add basil and lemon juice; pulse several times to mince basil leaves.
• Place cannellini beans, olive oil, water, tahini, salt, and cumin in the food processor and process until the hummus is smooth. If hummus is too thick, process 1 tablespoon reserved liquid from beans into the mixture. Add artichoke hearts to the hummus and process until smooth.

WHITE BEAN AND ARTICHOKE SALAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine beans, artichoke hearts, bell peppers, olives, onion, parsley, mint, and basil.
• In a jar or small bowl, combine oil and vinegar; shake together or mix well. Pour oil and vinegar over the salad, and toss to coat.
• Cover and chill in refrigerator for several hours or overnight, stirring occasionally, to let flavors blend.

WHITE BEAN HUMMUS

Steps:

• Add the beans and minced garlic to the bowl of a food processor. Puree until a smooth mixture forms.
• While the processor is running, add an ice cube, tahini, lemon juice, spices and a big dash of kosher salt. Blend for about 4 minutes or so. Check, and if the consistency is too thick, run processor and slowly add a drizzle of hot water. Blend until you reach your desired silky smooth consistency.
• Taste and adjust seasoning and lemon juice to your liking. If you need more garlic, add another minced clove. And if you like the dip to be even more nutty, add a little more tahini. Make sure to run the processor again until everything is well combined.
• Serve or chill the dip for a later time (chilling will thicken the white bean hummus some, which is recommended). When ready to serve, spread the hummus in a serving bowl and add a generous drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Top with 2 to 3 teaspoons of dukkah, if using.
