Instead of chickpeas, this Green Lentil Hummus is made with cooked green lentils, which is a tasty twist on the original hummus. It doesn't have any gluten or dairy and is full of protein and fiber.
Ingredients: 1 cup cooked green lentils. 3 tablespoons tahini. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 2 tablespoons lemon juice. 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin. 1/4 teaspoon paprika. Salt and pepper to taste. 2 tablespoons olive oil. Water as needed.
Instructions: Put cooked lentils, tahini, garlic that has been minced, lemon juice, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper in a food processor. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to make the mixture smooth. Slowly pour in the olive oil while the processor is running until everything is well mixed. Every time you feel like the hummus is too thick, add water one tablespoon at a time until it meets your needs. Check the seasonings and make changes if needed. Put the food in a bowl to serve, drizzle with olive oil, and top with paprika. This dish goes well with your favorite gluten-free crackers or veggie sticks.
