Timeless Natural Food's Montana Lentil Hummus
Ingredients
- 227 grams (1/2 lb) crimson lentils
- 590 grams (2.5 cups) water
- 1 & 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 garlic clove
- 30 grams (1⁄4 cup) tahini paste
- 3 tbsp (about 1 lemon) lemon juice
- 27 grams (4 Tbsp) olive Oil
Instructions
- Combine the lentils, water, salt, and garlic clove into a medium-sized saucepan, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once the lentils come to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, until the lentils are very soft and start to fall apart.
- In a blender, combine the lentils with the remaining cooking liquid, boiled garlic, tahini paste, lemon juice, and olive oil. Blend until smooth. The hot blended lentils will seem very loose and soft, this is ideal.
- Once slightly cooled, the hummus will firm up to the desired consistency.
- Taste for seasoning and adjust as needed.
