Middle Eastern hummus is usually made with chickpeas. This version of hummus was redesigned in the USA and is a bit different. It has a milder flavor. The ingredients are similar, but with a twist of two... or three...
Ingredients
- Red kidney beans (1lb or 16oz can)
- Quality tahini
- Quality soy sauce
- Fresh lemon juice
- Garlic
- Cayenne
- Cilantro (optional)
- Parsley (optional)
- Dehydrated tomatoes (o)
Steps
Open a can of kidney beans and wash the beans with purified water.
Empty the can of kidney beans into the food processor.Advertisement
Add 2 tablespoons of unroasted Tahini (sesame seed butter).
Add 3 teaspoons of soy sauce.
Add 3 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice.
Add 2-3 cloves of chopped or pressed garlic, according to your taste.
Add a pinch of cayenne according to taste. (Don't add too much, though. Cayenne is very strong.)
Start the food processor and run it for 2 minutes or until the mixture is very smooth.
Taste and adjust the flavor by adding lemon juice and/or soy sauce. When you master those two you can adjust the tahini. It takes 5 to 6 tries to get it right, and you may spoil the lot on the first try if you make large adjustments.
Serve with bread, crackers, or in wraps, and enjoy a unique flavor of hummus with a flavor penchant on "Pâté de Foie Gras".Advertisement

Tips
- To improve the flavor some more, add 2 tablespoons of finely chopped dehydrated tomatoes.Thanks
- To make the flavor fresh and zesty, add 5 stalks of finely chopped cilantro or parsley depending on your preference.Thanks
- If you plan on using dry beans, you might need advice on cooking dry red kidney beans.Thanks
Warnings
- Do not use too much tahini or soy sauce as they can ruin the flavor very quickly past a sensitive limit. The secret of fine hummus is in how well you learn to control those two ingredients. Too much soy will discolor the hummus on the dark side. Too much tahini will lighten up the hummus. Too much of both will appear right, but the flavor will be too strong.Thanks
