Guest guest Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 @@@@@ Red Lentil Hummus 3/4 cup dried split red lentils 1 slightly heaped tablespoon tahini 1 1/2-2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 1 clove of garlic, smashed olive oil, for drizzling (optional) Wash the lentils well in a sieve and pick out any debris. Transfer to a pot and cover with water by about three or four inches. Bring to a boil, skim, turn heat down and simmer just until tender. Drain cooked lentils in a sieve and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking. Give them a gentle shake. Set the sieve over the empty pot for several minutes and allow to drain well. Add drained lentils to food processor along with tahini, lemon juice and garlic. Process until smooth. Adjust flavors if needed and season with salt to taste. Transfer to a bowl and drizzle with a little olive oil if desired. The hummus is best made in advance but is also great eaten right away. Yields about 1 2/3 cup.
