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.

Debby you are welcome. I bought some canned lima beans and needed a way to use them, and this was perfect. Funny thing is that I created a small batch for the two of us, but we found that we ate it very quickly and wanted more, ha ha! The lemon juice could be adjusted too. I had a small lemon and measured the lemon juice, but some lemons may be larger. It's not exact, but pretty close to getting it the texture you'd like.
