Mixed Bean Hummus

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

• 1 can mixed beans (540mL) – drain & reserve liquid
  
• 3 cloves garlic
  
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  
• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  
• 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  
• 1/2 teaspoon curry
  
• 1/2 teaspoon vegan sugar
  
• dash of cumin
  
• dash of cayenne
  
• sea salt to taste
  

Directions:

I hand mash the beans because I enjoy
the texture. If you attempt to do this
as well, you’ll likely not need to add
any liquid. And be sure to finely chop the
garlic before adding. Also, be
prepared for the skin of the kidney
beans to keep your tongue busy as it
likes to “cling”!

Throw everything together, and mash,
process or blend to the desired
consistency. Add reserved liquid from
the beans if it’s too dry.

If you’re not a fan of the mixed beans,
this of course can be prepared with
strictly garbonzo beans.

Serves: 4-6
