Really Frugal Hummus
Partially inspired by one of my favorite cookbooks, Soul Food Love (affiliate link).
Ingredients
- One 15-oz. can Great northern beans or black-eyed peas (2 cups of home cooked beans)
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tbsp natural peanut butter (unsweetened - ingredients should read: peanuts, salt)
- 1-2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions
-
Place all ingredients in a food processor and whir together until it forms a smooth paste. Taste and adjust as needed.
-
Serve in a bowl and dip with vegetables, tortilla chips, or pita. Or spread on bread or pita pockets and top/stuff with fresh vegetables like cucumbers, tomatoes, and peppers.
Recipe Notes
If you can't find plain, unsweetened peanut butter, make it yourself by whirring roasted peanuts (add a little salt if using unsalted peanuts) in the food processor. Add coconut or avocado oil if necessary, until it forms a smooth, peanut-butter-like paste.
Congratulations! You just made homemade peanut butter. That'll probably save you money too.
