Red Lentil Hummus
​
Ingredients:
1/2 C uncooked red lentils + 1 & 1/4 cup water
1 garlic clove, peeled
5 T fresh lemon juice
1 T tahini
1/4 t fine grain sea salt, or to taste
​
Directions:
Pick through the lentils to make sure there are no pebbles and rinse in a small colander. In a medium-sized pot, add the lentils and 1 & 1/4 cup water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and cover, simmering until the water is absorbed or about 10-13 minutes. Stir the lentils frequently to prevent them from sticking to the pot.
With the food processor running, drop in the clove of garlic to mince. Add the cooked lentils, along with the lemon juice, tahini, and salt. Process until smooth. Add a touch of water if necessary to thin out.
