A lot of humus recipes start with canned garbanzos. This one made from scratch has a fresh bright green color and flavor. Start with 3 to 4 pounds of beans in the pod. Shell them, boil in salted water for 20 minutes, drain and mash them. (This recipes eliminates the skin slipping portion of gourmet fava bean preparation by running them through a strainer after boiling.)
- 1 cup bean puree
- 1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
- 4 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp tahini
- 1 1/2 tbsp crushed garlic
Combine all ingredients. Salt to taste and blend if you like. Garnish with finely chopped garlic chives
Alternatively skip the tahini, ad chopped red and yello sweet pepper a dash of cayenne and a 1/4 tsp of cumin also you can use mint or cilantro for other characters I ran the beans through the corona on fine and came out smooth and then thru strainer. also try roasting red pepper for this
