This is a recipe from Lesley Waters 'Simple Ways to Success - Healthy' cookbook. This is a really creamy houmous and the butter beans add extra protein. I use Bekah's Homemade Tahini #73859 to make it and sometimes I add a little sambal oelek for some extra spicyness. It great served with a variety of fresh vegetables and pita crisps for dipping. Or you could try one of my favourites: a fresh bagel with houmous, rocket and roasted aubergine. Yum! Ingredients:
1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas, drained and rinsed |
1 (15 ounce) can butter beans |
2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed |
2 tablespoons tahini |
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
3 tablespoons plain low-fat yogurt |
5 tablespoons water |
1/2 lemon, juice of |
sea salt, to taste |
fresh ground black pepper, to taste |
1 teaspoon sambal oelek (not in original recipe) (optional) |
Directions:
1. Put all ingredients in a food processor, apart from salt and pepper, and blend until just about smooth.
2. Alternatively you can put them in a mixing bowl and use a stick blender.
3. Season with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
