SERVES 4 TO 6
3½ cups (700 g) white beans, rinsed and drained (about two 15-oz [425-g] cans)
2 tbsp (36 g) tahini
3 tbsp (45 ml) olive or grapeseed oil
3 cloves garlic
¼ cup (60 ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tsp salt
¾ tsp ground cumin, plus more for garnish
Chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)
Combine all the ingredients in a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend the mixture on high for about 30 seconds, until all the ingredients are combined. The resulting texture should be thick, whipped and full of garlic flavor. Serve with a dash of cumin and cilantro or on its own with chips and crackers. This garlicky hummus saves well up to a week in the fridge.
