Lima Bean Hummus ~ Cooking for Two

 

Lima Bean Hummus (my recipe)

1 can of lima beans, drained and rinsed

2 cloves of garlic, minced (we used home grown)*

1/3 cup tahini (dry roasted seeds, but any tahini will work)

2 Tbsp. plus 2 tsp. real lemon juice (from a fresh lemon)

1/4 cup water

2 Tbsp. olive oil

1/4 tsp. salt

Mix everything in a food processor until smooth.  Adjust salt and garlic if needed.  If you do not grow your own garlic, you may need to add more to adjust flavor. Our homegrown garlic is loaded with flavor.

Homemade Fajita Seasoning (Dry Mix)

The recipe I use for our dry Fajita seasoning mix, is on my blog HERE.   I store the dry mix in a repurposed jar, and label it.  If you add the dehydrated onion  (especially if you make it yourself), you may want to store the jar in the door of your freezer.  The dehydrated onion can very easily absorb moisture (even in the cupboard), and the mix will become hard.

Note:  We plan to add some home grown, dehydrated oregano to this mix next time it's made.  If we like it, I'll add it to the recipe, and how much we add to the recipe.  I almost feel it should contain some garlic powder too.  I've made notes on the original post.

We use this dry seasoning mixture for chicken tacos too, but you could use dry taco seasoning as well.  We make that ourselves too.
