We had a bunch of Cannellini beans at home so I decided to whip them up into a hummus. It turned out super creamy and delicious, so I can’t wait to have it over pasta and as a snack. I also cooked up my own beans, which is always a great idea, to not only save on money, but to also season the beans to your liking while they are cooking. Of course, feel free to use canned beans if you are in a hurry (I often do that as well), but the next time you have some extra time on your hands cook up some beans.

INGREDIENTS:

(Yields 1 large jar / 1.27 EUR)

3 cups cooked cannellini beans (0.60 EUR)

1 tsp salt (0.01 EUR)

1 tsp freshly ground black pepper (0.07 EUR)

½ tsp garlic powder (0.03 EUR)

1 tbsp lemon juice (0.07 EUR)

1-2 tbsp bean cooking liquid or water (–)

3 tbsp peanut butter (0.40 EUR)

2 tbsp olive oil (0.09 EUR)

METHOD:

Add the beans to a food processor with salt, pepper, garlic powder and lemon juice. Pulse until creamy and if needed add a bit of water or bean cooking liquid. Add in peanut butter and olive oil, then pulse once more until everything is well incorporated. Taste and adjust seasonings. Serve over pasta, with veggies, or as a dressing.

The hummus will keep refrigerated in an airtight container for at least a week.

Pošto smo doma imali popriličnu količinu bijelog graha, odlučila sam na brzinu smutiti humus koji je na kraju ispao jako fini i kremasti, tako da sam jedva dočekala da ga sparim sa nekom tjesteninom ili snackom. Također, grah sam sama skuhala što je uvijek odlična opcija jer onda sami možete dozirati arome i začine dok se grah kuha. Naravno, ako vam se žuri u ovom receptu možete upotrijebiti i grah iz konzerve (što ja također često radim), ali idući puta kada ćete imati viška vremena napravite si tu uslugu i sami skuhajte svoj grah.

SASTOJCI:

(Za 1 veliku teglu / 9,42 kn)

3 šalice kuhanog bijelog graha (4,50 kn)

1 žličica soli (0,01 kn)

1 žličica svježe mljevenog crnog papra (0,50 kn)

½ žličice češnjaka u prahu (0,25 kn)

1 žlica limunovog soka (0,50 kn)

1-2 žlice tekućine od kuhanja graha ili obične vode (–)

3 žlice kikiriki maslaca (3,00 kn)

2 žlice maslinovog ulja (0,66 kn)

PRIPREMA:

Grah, sol, papar, češnjak i limunov sok ubacite u multipraktik. Pulsirajte dok ne bude kremasto, a prema potrebi dodajte mrvicu vode ili tekućine od kuhanja graha. Dodajte kikiriki maslac i maslinovo ulje, pa još jednom propulsirajte da se sve sjedini. Poslužite preko tjestenine, sa povrćem ili kao dressing.

Humus će držati u hladnjaku u hermetički zatvorenoj posudi barem tjedan dana.
