Equipment

  • 1 High speed blender or food processor

Ingredients
  

  • 3 Cups Cooked Lentils Or 2 15oz. cans of lentils
  • 3 Tbsp Tahini
  • 3 Tbsp Oil I used avocado oil, but olive oil works well too.
  • 2 Tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 2 tsp Minced Garlic
  • 2 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1 tsp Salt

Instructions
 

  • If using dried lentils, cook to the package directions.
  • Drain and rinse the lentils, do this for the canned and the cooked lentils.
  • Add all the ingredients to a high speed blender or a food processor and process until smooth.
  • Scrap the sides down as you process the hummus.
  • If the hummus is too thick, add a little water while processing, about 1 Tbsp at a time, testing after each Tbsp.
  • Don't add more than 3 tablespoons, this will result in a soupy hummus.
  • Transfer the hummus to a bowl for serving.
  • Store the hummus in a container with a cover and place in the refrigerator.
  • Serve the hummus with chips and crackers, fresh vegetables, a sandwich spread, or top your favorite pasta, and ENJOY!
