Italian White Bean Hummus
- 2 cups cooked Italian white beans (recipe here)
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
- 3 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 - 4 Tablespoons ice water
- 1/2 - 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 Tablespoons capers, drained
- 2 Tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped
- In a food processor, puree beans until nearly smooth. Add tahini and continue to puree. Add olive oil and pulse.
- Add the lemon juice one tablespoon at a time, tasting after each addition. Add in ice water as needed, until the hummus has a texture you prefer. I added about 2 tablespoons of ice water.
- Season with salt, adding 1/2 teaspoon at a time.
- Serve at room temperature, topped with parsley and capers and drizzled with olive oil. Try serving the hummus with raw vegetables, crackers, or chips for dipping; spread it inside a pita or wrap; or use it as a sauce for grilled meat or fish.
- Keeps sealed in the refrigerator for 3 - 4 days.
