White Bean Hummus With Kalamata Relish Recipes

Steps:

• *To cook the dried beans, soak them overnight in plenty of water. Drain, put them in a pot, and cover them with fresh water by 1-inch. Bring them to a boil, lower the heat, and simmer until they are tender, about 30 to 40 minutes.
• Put the beans into the bowl of a food processor. Add the lemon juice, cumin, garlic, tahini paste, and salt and pepper, to taste. Turn the processor on and slowly pour in the olive oil. Process until smooth and thick.

Steps:

• Puree a 15-ounce can drained white beans with 1 garlic clove, 2 tablespoons each lemon juice and tahini, add 1 teaspoon cumin and 1/2 cup chopped scallions; add water if needed. Season with salt. Serve with pita or breadsticks.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, thyme, and rosemary. Cook until onions are translucent, 5 to 6 minutes. Add beans with their liquid, 1 cup of water, salt, pepper, and cayenne, and bring to a simmer. Cook until liquid is nearly evaporated, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove thyme and rosemary sprigs; discard. Carefully transfer mixture to the bowl of a food processor, add the tahini and lemon, and puree until smooth. Adjust seasoning, if necessary. Transfer to a serving bowl, let cool.
• Top with Kalamata relish and drizzle with olive oil before serving. Serve with pita triangles.
