Now I know what you're thinking. Lima beans-ewwwww. But you know me, I love most every veggie/bean out there. So when our new neighbors at the Lake gave us a baggie filled with frozen lima beans, I was kind of excited! Oh the possibilities! They are canners & also gave me a jar of green beans & homemade pickles. I think we're going to get along just fine.
Back to the beans. I was perusing my emails & blogs yesterday and it came to me-hummus. Lima bean hummus! So easy. I dumped all the ingredients into the BlendTec & viola, delicious hummus in minutes.
Lima Bean Hummus
2 cups lima beans
1/2 c. tahini
salt-to taste
juice of 1 lime or lemon
EVOO for streaming
Add all ingredients except the EVOO to blender and pulse until blended. With blender running, stream in EVOO until it reaches a smooth consistency. Place in bowl, drizzle top with EVOO and serve.
As Ina would say, 'How easy is that?'
