Recipe: Fava Bean Hummus
About 3 weeks ago I purchased a can of fava beans and chick peas – I figured I would make a bean salad or something. Then, I though, why not hummus?! So, here we go – fava bean hummus.
This recipe is easy and worth trying out! It’s good for a quick snack or a light lunch and it’s homemade.
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups of chicken broth
- 3/4 cup of water
- 1 540 ml can of fava beans and chickpeas
- tablespoon of chopped garlic
- teaspoon of ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne
- 1/4 cup of omega oil
- salt
- 1/2-2/3 a cup of cooking liquid
First – put the chicken broth, water, fava beans and garlic in a pot and bring to a boil – reduce to medium-high heat and boil slightly for 12-15 minutes.
Drain the beans and keep some of the cooking liquid. Put the drained beans in your Vitamix and blend. Add in the oil, salt, cumin, and cayenne. Blend. Add in some of the cooking liquid – just a bit at a time – until the desired texture is reached. Taste. It’s good, isn’t it?
Serve with cut carrots, celery, and colourful peppers, or with crackers or pita bread.
Enjoy – it’ll keep in the fridge for 4-5 days…if it lasts that long!
See you tomorrow!
