Fw: fresh bean humus

[Guest guest]

I experimented today with using fresh (rather than dried) beans for humus and

was delighted with a very successful outcome. We get a lot of green, yellow,

purple and other types of fresh beans from our garden, and it makes a great use

for them.

 

I cooked the fresh beans well in a microwave pressure cooker with only enough

wave to dampen them. They were very soft, softer than one serve them on a

plate. Then, I pureed them in my food processor just like one would with cooked

dried beans for this purpose. After that, I would imagine whatever recipe you

like for humus would work fine ( with lemon, garlic and/or other spices/herbs,

tahini or some other seed or nut butter), just using the pureed fresh beans

instead of pureed cooked dried beans.

 

I used well cooked yellow wax beans and the result was a lovely light,

flavourful humus. For people like me with lots of fresh beans around, it is a

fun and tastey option for serving them. :-)
