Petite Crimson Lentil Hummus

Petite Crimson Lentil Hummus
Hummus is traditionally made from chickpeas, but no one said you MUST make it that way. This version is just as tasty, and because lentils have more fiber and protein, it's even healthier. Try Timeless Petite Crimson Lentils; the color is striking!

Instructions
  1. Cover lentils with water (these lentils expand, keep them covered with water in the pot), cook until soft, strain. Save some of the cooking liquid to thin the hummus if needed.
  2. In a blender mix lemon juice, garlic, tahini, spices, and 1/2 cup of cooking liquid. Blend well.
  3. Add hot lentils, a third cup at a time and blend until smooth. May need to add additional cooking liquid to thin.
  4. Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary.
  5. For a different taste treat, substitute cashew butter for the tahini paste.
