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

Equipment

  • 1 High speed blender or food processor

Method
 

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