Total time:  40 mins | Serves: 2 cups

​

Ingredients

• 1 12-ounce can cannellini beans

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• 2 tablespoons tahini

• 1/2 head black garlic, peeled

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

​

Instructions

1. Place the beans in a small saucepan and add water until just covered. Add the baking soda.

2. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 20 to 30 minutes. The beans will be a little mushy, which is okay.

3. Drain the beans and place into a food processor with the tahini, black garlic, salt, and lemon juice.

4. Pulse several times to combine, scraping down the sides as you go.

5. Add water as necessary if your mixture is too thick.

6. Pulse continuously until velvety smooth.
