Hummus (Lima Bean)
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 2 1/2 cups
The buttery texture of lima beans make an outstanding smooth and creamy hummus. Serve them up with some vegetables or crackers .
Ingredients
- 450g lima beans
- 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil, or more if needed
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 medium lemon, zested, plus 1 tablespoon of juice
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- Fresh cracked black pepper, to taste
Method
Boil the lima beans for about 20 minutes to soften them more. Drain the lima beans and reserve the aquafaba. Allow them to cool.
In a blender, add olive oil, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Blend till ingredients are combined.
Add the lima beans and slowly blend until smooth. The hummus will be thick, so you’ll have to turn off the blender, stir the hummus, maybe add a little aquafaba, and then blend again. Repeat this process until the hummus is smooth.
