Butter Bean Hummus

This butter bean hummus is a yummy, quick and easy vegan dip; It is super flavorful, DELICIOUS and ready in just 2 minutes! I like to serve it with raw vegetable sticks, pita bread or crackers.

Butter Bean Hummus

Butter bean hummus is stable in my house since it is my daughter's favorite snack, So I make it frequently. I never buy pre-made hummus from the store because I don't like the taste and texture of it.

Also, it is so easy to make at home and takes no time at all. Simply blend all the ingredients except for the toppings in the food processor, then garnish with the toppings. Ta-ah!

This recipe is a delicious twist to the classic hummus recipe, which is usually made with chickpeas; today, I will make hummus using butter beans.

Butter beans is a type of lima beans; they have a creamy, buttery texture and slightly nutty flavor, making them perfect for dips.

To achieve a smooth and creamy texture I highly recommend to beat the ingredients in the food processor for at least 2-3 minutes. If you don’t have a food processor, blend it in a high-speed blender until you get a smooth texture.

Ingredients

Butter beans: I used canned butter beans; you have to drain and rinse them before using. Also, Garbanzo beans work well in this recipe.

Garlic: I used fresh garlic cloves.

Tahini: It adds great flavor and texture. If you don't know what Tahini is, It is a paste made using 100% sesame seeds; it is usually available in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern grocery stores.

Salt, pepper and cumin: For seasoning.

Lemons juice: Use fresh lemon juice.

Olive oil

Water: I used warm water to loosen the consistency of the mixture.

Parsley: To garnish.

Chives: Add freshly chopped chives to add more flavor to the dip.
