Ingredients
- 1 (15 oz.) can cannellini beans drained and rinsed
- 1-3 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce more or less, depending on how much spice you like
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons water or reserved liquid from the canned beans more or less for desired consistency
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt or 2 cloves fresh garlic
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- salt and pepper to taste
For the topping:
- 1/2 chipotle pepper in adobo sauce minced
- drizzle of olive oil
- sprinkle of paprika
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in the bowl of a food processor or blender. Pulse or blend to combine until the mixture is smooth, creamy and lump free.
- If needed, add more water to make the hummus thinner. Add water until you have reached your desired consistency. I usually add about 1/4 cup reserved liquid from the canned beans. Process again until it’s just right. Also, taste for spice level and adjust spices as desired. You might want to add more salt or even another pepper.
- Transfer to serving bowl, add the topping (if desired) and enjoy!
Notes
Nutritional information and serving size is calculated without topping.
- Storing. White bean hummus is a great make-ahead dip. It keeps well in the fridge, in an airtight container, for up to five days.
- Freezing. Yes, you can even freeze hummus! It makes a healthy lunchbox treat. Simply spoon it into individual-sized storage containers and freeze. It will keep for up to six months in the freezer. It may separate slightly when thawed, but just give it a little stir and it will be fine. If you freeze a larger sized container, for best results, thaw it overnight in your fridge.
