-2 cups cooked green lentils (shown with yellow lentils above, but these are hard to find, so green lentils are great and actually much more flavorful)!
-1/4 cup tahini
-1/4 cup lemon juice
-1/2 cup roasted garlic (or 2 teaspoons garlic granules)
-1/2 teapsoon salt
-1/3 cup oil of choice (more if needed)
How To
1. To prepare lentils: soak 1 cup lentils up to 6 hours. After the soak, discard water. Cook lentils with 1 1/2 cups water (bring to boil then cover for about 15 minutes) until water is absorbed.
2. In food processor fitted with the s-blade, blend cooled lentils, tahini, lemon, garlic and salt.
3. Drizzle in oil, add more if needed
4. Garnish with dried apricots and pine nuts – this hummus is super yummy with the contrasting flavor of dried apricots!
5. Store in airtight container in fridge.
Salud!

Lentil hummus – different in a good way. I always have lentils and never thought to soak them like other dried beans. Thanks for sharing this at Wellness Weekend.
Hi There Gretchen,
Thanks for your comment. You can omit soaking the lentils if you aren’t on the SCD (Specific Carbohydrate Diet) but you must soak if on the diet to remove excess sugars. If not on the diet, you can just rinse the lentils and cook in a 2:1 ratio (2 cups water for every 1 cup dried lentils).
Happy New Year to you,
–Amber
