White Bean Hummus

Okay, so we have found the ULTIMATE healthy bean dip (hummus-for those who want to call it by its real name).  Although, I will tell you that Sheyanne (my 16 year old) states, and I quote "it smells like butt", but she still eats it.  So I guess its good, and relatively healthy.  I took this to our Sunday School holiday party and it was eaten right up.  Someone even ate it right out of his hand.  So I guess that is something for you.

Now it does take a lot of random spices, but you will find that most of these are things that you either have in your cabinet from that "experimental" recipe, or are easily found at your local grocery. 

White Bean Hummus
2 can great northern beans drained and rinsed
1 tbsp of minced fresh garlic
1 tsp ground mustard
1 tsp granulated garlic
1 tsp black pepper
2 tbsp Mediterranean seasoning
3/4 cup olive oil
2 tbsp honey or light karo syrup

This is soooooo easy.  Drain and rinse your beans.  Measure out all your seasonings, and put it in your food processor or in your blender.  The thought is to make it very smooth, so I run mine for about 2 minutes, then scrape down the sides, and run it for another minute.  We serve ours with Pita chips and can garnish with some diced tomato.  This can easily be refrigerated and served the next day.  Since we are cutting out a lot of the oil of traditional hummus, it is much better for you.


Enjoy!!!!
