Guest guest Posted January 28, 2003 Report Share Posted January 28, 2003 I think this is a nice twist to the average hummus dip, a little bit more creamy. Thought I would share my first attempt at making this. When I first received this recipe it called for 10 cloves of garlic. I'm assumming this was merely a typo or they were using some kinda mild garlic. Anyways, it came out tasting like garlic paste rather than hummus. Thus, since my first attempt's disaster I've since only been using 1 garlic clove. All you garlic heads on this group feel free to bump the amount of garlic up to your liking or go w/ the original recipe's suggested garlic amount...I dare ya ) White Bean Hummus 1 medium garlic clove 2 15 oz cans great northern beans 1/2 cup tahini 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil 1/4 cup freshly-squeezed lemon juice 1 tbl soy sauce + 1/2 tsp soy sauce 1 1/2 tsp salt 1 1/2 tsp ground cumin 1/8 tsp ground coriander 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper 1/4 to 1/2 cup cold water 2 tbl minced fresh Italian parsley and/or cilantro for garnish In a food processor or blender, process the garlic. Add the beans and pulse the machine a few times to chop them coarsely. Then, with the machine running, puree them while you slowly pour the tahini through the feed tube. Still with the motor running, pour the olive oil, lemon juice, and soy sauce through the feed tube, stopping the processor occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Stop the processor, open the lid, and add the salt, cumin, coriander, and cayenne. Process until thoroughly blended. If the puree seems too thick for dipping or spreading, pulse in the 1/4 to 1/2 cup cold water. Transfer the puree to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate to chill well before serving.

I think it's a regional thing on what they are called. I live in the southeast and here they go by the name great northern white beans. hth, karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 29, 2003 Report Share Posted January 29, 2003 This sounds divine. Thanks a bunch, I just added this recipe to our files into the snacks and dips folder. Your first attempt story is so funny. Sounds like something I would do. *lol* Usually when following a recipe for the first time, I will try my best at making it just as written. Then, I will taste it and play around with the ingredients making notes and adjustments. However, this only works if you don't add too much of something. Kind of hard to remove too much spice or too much garlic. ~ P_T ~ Nature does nothing uselessly. -Aristotle (384-322 BCE) ~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~> , " bluetulipz <bluetulipz> " < bluetulipz> wrote: > I think this is a nice twist to the average hummus dip, a little bit > more creamy.

Great northern beans are much smaller than canellini. Canellini are sometimes called 'white kidney beans' - and they are the size and shape of regular red kidney beans. I think the flavor is different too. I like canellini beans a lot, very nice beans. Hard to find them sometimes though, and I don't think I've ever seen them canned - I buy the dried beans generally and cook them in my pressure cooker.

I didn't see them in the fresh produce section but I did find them canned. This was at a Ralphs grocery store in the San Francisco Bay Area. I am only aware of Ralphs on the West Coast but I think it was a national brand for the can. Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
